Question

Graph this function f(x)=x^2-4x-5

Answer 1

In order to graph this function you need to get axis of simmetry (by dividing the number with the squared x between the other number with the x), the vertex where the function changes its direction and the x and y axes cutting points.

Answer 2

Step 1: a = 1, b = -4

Step 2: x = 2, f(2) = -9

Step 4: (5,0) and (-1,0)

Step 6: f(0) = -5

On the graph the points plotted are (-1,0) , (0,-5) , (2,-9) , and (5,0)
