You can put this solution on YOUR website! My question is dealing with Graphing Quadratic Functions. The problem is f(x)=xsquared -5.
 **
 y=x^2-5
 you can look at this equation in different ways but one way is to see this equation as a standard form for a parabola: y=A(x-h)^2+k, with (h,k) being the (x,y) coordinates of the center.
 For given equation: y=x^2-5
 Vertex is at (0,-5)
 To get more points plug in values of x.
 But another way is to find x-intercepts:
 x^2-5=0
 x=±√5≈±2.24
 You now have 3 points with which to plot the graph.
