Exercise 77 Page 316

Describe the parent function, then graph the functions in one coordinate plane to compare them.

Function family: Quadratic.
Comparison: See solution.

Practice makes perfect
Let's take a look at given graph.
The given function is quadratic, so its parent function is y=x^2. Let's draw this function to compare it to the given one.
As we can see from the graph, each y-value is being horizontally shifted 2 units to the left and vertically shifted 1 unit down.
