Explanation:

Given -

y=(x-3)^2+5y=(x3)2+5

The equation of the parabola is already in vertex form
So, its vertex is (3,5)(3,5)
To find its y-intercept, put x=0x=0

y=(0-3)^2+5=9+5=14y=(03)2+5=9+5=14

Its Y-intercept (0,14)(0,14)

Its vertex is in the first quadrant. Its y-intercept is well above the vertex. Hence the curve cannot have x-intercept.

Take a series of x values ; these values must include vertex and y-intercept. The range of values -1 1 to 66
