How do you graph f(x) = (x - 1) squared - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To graph this, we can find the vertex and some other points.

The formula for equations like these go as follows:

f(x) = (x-h)^2 + k

The vertex is (h, k)

Therefore, we know that the vertex of this equation is (1, -2).

We can find more points by simply putting numbers in for x and solving for y. (It doesn't take long, I promise)

For instance, when x is 0, y is -1. (0, -1)

Or, when x is 2, (2, -1)

From just these points (the vertex and two other points we found manually), you can graph the equation.

you need a common difference between consecutive terms to be constant, like 1,2,3,4 or 2,4,6,8, or 1,3,6,9

option a.

step-by-step explanation:

if you look closely at the graph, we can notice that the function is not defined at two different points.

if you look at functions b and c, you will notice that both functions are not defined at just one point. the function b is not defined at x= -5/2 and function c is not defined at x=-5. both options are discarded, given that our function should not be defined at two fiferent points.

now, if you look closely at the graph you will notice that the function sketched is not defined at x=5 and x=-2.
