Write a quadratic function to model the graph to the right

y = x² + 2x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

Here the vertex = (- 1, 4), thus

y = a(x + 1)² + 4

To find a substitute (0, 5) a point on the graph into the equation

5 = a(0 + 1)² + 4

5 = a + 4 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

a = 1, thus

y = (x + 1)² + 4 ← expand and simplify

  = x² + 2x + 1 + 4

  = x² + 2x + 5

i think the answer is seven, for if i'm being useless °ω°
