<PRE><B>Question 23694</B>
What would you like to do, graph it?  Do you have a graphing calculator, or can I use the graphing calculator at algebra.com?

{{{ graph(400,400, -10, 10,-10, 10, .5(x-3)^2 ) }}}


Or perhaps you are supposed to graph this without a calculator?  Without a calculator, you begin the graph of y = x^2,
{{{ graph(400,400, -10,10,-10,10, x^2) }}}. 

Because of the (x-3) you will be moving the graph of y =x^2 to the RIGHT 3 units. Because of the 1/2 coefficient, it opens up the graph and makes it wider.  

{{{graph (400,400, -10,10,-10,10, (1/2)*(x-3)^2) }}}
