Question

Please help:The graph of f(x)=x^2 is shown. Use the parabola tool to graph the function g(x)=(12x)^2.To graph a parabola, first plot the vertex then plot another point on the parabola.

Answer 1

The equation of the graph show is given as

f(x) = x^2

Which can also be given as:

f(x) = x^2 - 12x + 17

Based on its form, it is a parabola.

First, we will factor the quadratic equation.

f(x) = (x - 9)(x - 3)

To lot the graph on x-y plane, we will generate a table by assigning values to x and then get the y values.
