In order to graph y=%28x-3%29%5E2+%2B+1, we need to plot a few points.


Let's find the y value when x=0 note: you can start at any x value.


y=%28x-3%29%5E2+%2B+1 Start with the given equation.


y=%280-3%29%5E2+%2B+1 Plug in x=0.


y=10 Simplify.


So when x=0, y=10. So we have the point (0,10).


----------------------------


Let's find the y value when x=1


y=%28x-3%29%5E2+%2B+1 Start with the given equation.


y=%281-3%29%5E2+%2B+1 Plug in x=1.


y=5 Simplify.


So when x=1, y=5. So we have the point (1,5).


----------------------------


Let's find the y value when x=2


y=%28x-3%29%5E2+%2B+1 Start with the given equation.


y=%282-3%29%5E2+%2B+1 Plug in x=2.


y=2 Simplify.


So when x=2, y=2. So we have the point (2,2).


----------------------------


Let's find the y value when x=3


y=%28x-3%29%5E2+%2B+1 Start with the given equation.


y=%283-3%29%5E2+%2B+1 Plug in x=3.


y=1 Simplify.


So when x=3, y=1. So we have the point (3,1).


----------------------------


Let's find the y value when x=4


y=%28x-3%29%5E2+%2B+1 Start with the given equation.


y=%284-3%29%5E2+%2B+1 Plug in x=4.


y=2 Simplify.


So when x=4, y=2. So we have the point (4,2).


----------------------------


Let's find the y value when x=5


y=%28x-3%29%5E2+%2B+1 Start with the given equation.


y=%285-3%29%5E2+%2B+1 Plug in x=5.


y=5 Simplify.


So when x=5, y=5. So we have the point (5,5).


----------------------------


Let's find the y value when x=6


y=%28x-3%29%5E2+%2B+1 Start with the given equation.


y=%286-3%29%5E2+%2B+1 Plug in x=6.


y=10 Simplify.


So when x=6, y=10. So we have the point (6,10).


----------------------------


Now let's make a table of the values we just found.
