How do you graph y=3(x+3)23?

2 Answers

If you expand it you get y=3x2+18x+24

Explanation:

With graph

graph{3x^2+18x+24 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

See the explanation section.

Explanation:

For y=a(xh)2+k the vertex is (h,k) and the graph opens from the vertex through the points x=h±1 and y=k+a That is, through the points (h+1,k+a) and (h1,k+a)

For y=3(x+3)23, the vertex is (3,3) and with a=3, the parabola opens upward through the points x=3±1 and y=3+3=0. That is, through the points (2,0) and (4,0)
