Question

Which of the following functions best describes this graph?

A.y=(x-1)(x-1)
B.y=x^2-5x+6
C. y=x^2-x+5
D. y=( x-3)(x+1)

Answer 1

Answer: y = (x-1)(x-1)

Explanation:

There is pretty much no vertical shift so that immediately rules out B and C.

We can solve y = (x-1)(x-1) and get x = 1

The graph shows x = 1 as a zero, so we know this graph is correct.
