Graph each quadratic function and identify its key characteristics. f(x) = x^2 - 2x - 3

See graph

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to graph the function .

Let us rewrite this function in the vertex form so that we can graph it easily.

We achieve this by completing the square as follows;

.

.

Comparing to  ,  we have ,this means the graph will open up.

where is the vertex of the quadratic graph.

To find the y-intercept we put into the function to get,

.

To find the x-intercept, we put .

.

.

.

.

.

With the nature of graph in mind, taking into consideration, the vertex and the intercepts, we draw the graph to obtain the quadratic graph in the attachment.
