Identify the axis of symmetry, create a suitable table of values, and sketch the graph. I am having difficulty creating the table.
y=x^2-5x+3
---------------
Table:
If x=0, y = 0-0+3 = 3
If x=1, y = 1-5+3 = -1
If x=2, y = 4-10+3 = -3
If x=3, y = 9-15+3 = -3
If x=-1 y = 1+5+3 = 9
If x=-2 y = 4+10+3 = 17
==========================
Plot these points and join them with a curve to get:
