To graph the parabola y = (x - 2)^2 + 1, you can follow these steps:
-
Identify the vertex of the parabola, which is the point (h, k) in the equation y = a(x - h)^2 + k. In this case, the vertex is (2, 1).
-
Plot the vertex on the coordinate plane.
-
Since the coefficient a is positive, the parabola opens upwards.
-
Choose additional points on either side of the vertex and plot them. For example, if you choose x = 0, you get y = (0 - 2)^2 + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5. So the point (0, 5) is on the parabola.
-
Plot the additional points and draw a smooth curve through them to complete the graph of the parabola.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
