Hint: Try putting value into it.

#

Like, let x = 0, you will get g(0) which is one of the point in your graph (0,g(0))

#

you can repeat it for like x = -1, 1, -2,2 and move it to fit all the points you have tried

#

Or you can rearrange it into the nice parabola equation

#

But if you can't see how to rearrange it, try the method of putting the random values in and match the point first.

find the vertex

#

then plot the vertex

#

then find the y intercept

#

and plot the y intercept

#

and you have the graph

like g(x) = a(x-h)^2 + k

#

for vertex (h,k)

#

oh

#

yeah that's definitely the best form of a parabola

clever pebble
#

but again... for this kind of question, just plug some number in and move the graph around

storm cosmos
#

I feel like the intended solution would be to find the vertex and y intercept, then plot them

clever pebble
#

well... good luck completing the square to get into that form lol

I know... but if student did just plug some number in instead of using formula, I will be more happy IMO
