Use the Parabola tool to graph the quadratic function.

f(x)=3x^2−6x+5

Graph the parabola by first plotting its vertex and then plotting a second point on the parabola.

Answer:

Given function:    [tex]f(x)=3x^2-6x+5[/tex]

Vertex form:  [tex]y=a(x-h)^2+k[/tex]  

(where [tex](h, k)[/tex] is the vertex)

Expand vertex form:

[tex]y=ax^2-2ahx+ah^2+k[/tex]

Compare coefficients of given function with expanded vertex form

Comparing coefficient of [tex]x^2[/tex]:

[tex]3=a[/tex]

Comparing coefficient of [tex]x[/tex]:

[tex]\ \ \ \ \ -6=-2ah\\\implies-6=-2 \cdot 3h\\\implies -6=-6h\\\implies h=1[/tex]

Comparing  constant:

[tex]\ \ \ \ \ \ 5=ah^2+k\\\implies5=3(1)^2+k \\\implies 5=3+k\\\implies k=2[/tex]

Therefore, the vertex is (1, 2)

As the leading coefficient is positive, the parabola will open upwards.

Additional plot points:

[tex]f(0)=3(0)^2-6(0)+5=5[/tex]

[tex]f(2)=3(2)^2-6(2)+5=5[/tex]

(0, 5) and (2, 5)
