1. Problem Description
The problem asks us to draw the graph of the quadratic function for . The function is already given in vertex form as . We are given a coordinate plane with a partially drawn parabola.
2. Solution Steps
The given equation is . This is a parabola with vertex at .
Since , we need to find the y-values at and .
When , .
When , .
So the parabola passes through the points and .
The vertex of the parabola is at .
Now we draw the parabola using the information we have. The parabola should pass through , , and . We need to limit the graph to the interval .
The graph is a U-shaped curve. The graph should start at , go down to the vertex at , and then go up to .
3. Final Answer
The graph of the parabola for is a U-shaped curve starting at , reaching its minimum at , and ending at . The part of the parabola where x < 0 and x > 5 should not be drawn.
The graph from the original image already shows an accurate representation of the curve.
