How do you graph #f(x) = (x - 8)^2 - 6#?
1 Answer
Vertex
Explanation:
The short answer is to build a table of values for x and y and then plot each point and draw your line through them.
However. If you meant how do you determine the critical points to sketch the graph then that is very different.

Given:
Looking at just the equation part:
The main point of focus being the
AS this is positive the generic graph shape is of form
You can almost directly read off the vertex coordinates from this equation form:
