The term to complete the square is .

Follow this helpful video:
Change quadratic equation from General form to Standard form

Learn how to do that, and be able to read the minimum or maximum value for "y" from the equation (meaning, read the vertex from the standard form equation).

YOUR answer equation will be . The graph has a MINIMUM value for f at the point (2,1).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

   =    (if you are not familiar with the procedure "completing the square", 
                    then trace for each my step)


=  =  = .


Completing the square is done.

The most right expression is a vertex form.

The minimum is achieved at x = 2.  The minimum value is 1.
