Answer

The graph of the function f(x) = (x - 2)² is presented below

Step-by-step explanation

To graph a function, it is usually better to expand it.

f(x) = (x - 2)²

= (x - 2) (x - 2)

= x (x - 2) - 2 (x - 2)

= x² - 2x - 2x + 4

= x² - 4x + 4

So, logically, we then insert different values of x into this function and obtain corresponding values of y. This set of ordered pairs are now plotted and joined together for the graph.

The graph of this function is then plotted and presented under 'Answer' above.

Hope this Helps!!!
