Use the parabola tool to graph the quadratic function f(x)=(x-5)^2+1

Look to the attached graph

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise how to graph the quadratic function

- Find the vertex of it

- Find the y-intercept

- Find the x-intercept

∵ f(x) = (x - 5)² + 1 ⇒ the completing square form

- The completing square form for any quadratic is

 ( x - h)² + k, where h and k are the coordinate of the vertex point

* Lets compare the two forms

∵ (x - h)² + k = (x - 5)² + 1

∴ h = 5 and k = 1

∴ The vertex of the parabola is (5 , 1)

- To find the x-intercept put f(x) = 0

∵ (x - 5)² + 1 = 0 ⇒ subtract 1 from both sides

∴ (x - 5)² = -1 ⇒ the square can not give -ve number

∴ The parabola does not intersect the x-axis

- To find the y-intercept put x = 0

∵ f(0) = (0 - 5)² + 1 = 25 + 1 = 26

∴ The parabola intersects the y-axis at point (0 , 26)

- The parabola is opened upward because the coefficient of x² is +ve

* Now lets graph it

- Look to the attached graph

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
