We understand how to do the questions now and we are really glad n thankful, but the graphing portion of it is confusing.

Continuation of the function.
The teacher wants us to plot the points from the different parts of the questions we answered and with your help we graphed the parabola.The question is "draw a well-labeled graph of the function from part c labeling points in parts a,b,e,f with x and y coordinates."

The function you have answered for us is part f and the answer we did part a.
The point from x=16 given does not go on the parabola. does that suppose to make sense?

I'm glad to hear that you found the step-by-step answers helpful! Regarding the graphing portion, I understand your concern about the point not appearing on the parabola.

If the given point (x=16) does not lie on the parabola, it means that either there was an error in plotting the point, or the point does not actually belong to the parabola for some reason. It's important to double-check that you have plotted the point accurately on the graph.

If you are certain that the point is correctly plotted and it still does not lie on the parabola, it is possible that there was an error in the calculations for that particular point or in the equation of the parabola. I would recommend reviewing the calculations and the equation to ensure their accuracy. If you are still having trouble, it may be helpful to consult with your teacher or a tutor for further clarification.

Remember, when graphing a function, it's always important to check and double-check your work to ensure accuracy. Graphing software or calculators can also be useful tools in verifying your graph.

I'm glad to hear that you found my explanations helpful! I'm sorry to hear that the graphing portion is causing confusion. I'll do my best to explain it in a clear way.

When graphing a function, it's important to understand that each point on the graph represents a combination of x and y coordinates. In this case, the question is asking you to plot the points from parts a, b, e, and f on the graph of the function.

You stated that the function in part f is the one you have the answer for, and the point given in part a does not fall on the parabola. This is actually expected because points on a graph don't always align perfectly with the equation of the function.

To graph the points, start by plotting the x and y coordinates given in parts a, b, e, and f on a coordinate plane. You can label each point with its corresponding coordinates. Connect the points with a smooth curve that best represents the shape of the function. This curve is called a "parabola" because the equation you have is a quadratic equation.

Remember, the point from part a may not lie directly on the parabola, but it still has a valid x and y coordinate. This is likely because the given point does not fall exactly on the curve defined by the function's equation.

So, to summarize, even if the point from part a doesn't fall on the parabola, it should still be plotted as close as possible to its coordinates. Remember to label all the points with their corresponding x and y coordinates, and connect them with a smooth curve to represent the graph of the function.
