The equation is
Quadratic function represents parabola in the graph.
\Compared to the quadratic function
since then the parabola open upwards.
Vertex is
Axis of symmetry
Axis of symmetry is
Vertex is
Find the - intercepts by substituting
in
Since discriminant , then the roots are imaginary.
There is no -intercepts.
Find the - intercept by substituting
in
