First we need to complete the square to get the coordinates of the turning point. \(y = {x^2} + 2x + 3\) \(y = {(x + 1)^2} - 1 + 3\) \(y = {(x + 1)^2} + 2\) Therefore ...
Plotting a graph takes time. Often mathematicians just want to know the key features. These are: shape, location and some key points (such as where the graph crosses the axes or turning points). Aim ...
