SOLUTION: How can I get a quadratic function from y=x^2 where a=1, b=6 and c=5? I started by (x-1)(x-6) =x^2-7+6 and I don't know where to go from there.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y=ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc
y=x%5E2%2B6x%2B5
y=%28x%5E2%2B6x%2B9%29%2B5-9
y=%28x%2B3%29%5E2-4
So to get from
y=%28x-0%29%5E2%2B0
You can shift 3 units in x and shift 4 units in y.
