how do i graph this:x to the 2nd power+2=3x
------------
Rewrite as:
y=x^2-3x+2
You could then plot some points,
or if you know the vertex is at x=-b/2a you would get
x=3/2, then y= (3/2)^2-3(3/2)+2 = (9/4)-18/4+8/4 = -1/4
So the vertex is at (3/2,-1/4)
-------------
The function factors as (x-1)(x-2) so you
have x-intercepts at x=1 and x=2.
-----------
With that information you should be able to graph the parabola which
opens upward.
