\"y=x%5E2-5x%2B3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since \"b+=+-5\", \"-b\" will be \"5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Axis of symmetry: \"x+=+-b%2F2a\" …..=>…… \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Axis of Symmetry: \"x+=+5%2F2+=+2%281%2F2%29\" ……or use decimal…\"x+=+2.5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This is \"one\" point through what the axis of symmetry passes. You need one more point to draw that line, and that point has to be a \"vertex\". Substitute \"5%2F2\" for \"x\" in the \"y+=+x%5E2+-5x+%2B+3\" and find \"y\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+x%5E2+-5x+%2B+3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+%282.5%29%5E2+-5%282.5%29+%2B+3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+6.25+-+12.5+%2B+3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=-3.25\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, the vertex is: (\"2.5\",\"-3.25\")\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The graph will be a curve called a parabola\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Here is the table:
\n" ); document.write( " x | y
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( " 0 | 3
\n" ); document.write( " 1 |-1
\n" ); document.write( " 2.5 |-3.25
\n" ); document.write( " 3 |-3
\n" ); document.write( " 4 |-1
\n" ); document.write( " 5 | 3
\n" ); document.write( " 6 | 9\r
