Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph of the parent quadratic has the equation
[tex]y=x^2[/tex] which has its vertex at the origin. That means that (0, 0) is on the graph. Let's check a few other points. It looks like (1, 1) is also on the graph. If x = 1 and y = 1, fill them both into the equation and see if one side equals the other side.
[tex]1=1^2[/tex] and that's true. Let's check one more point. It appears that the point (2, 4) is also on the graph. x = 2 and y = 4:
[tex]4=2^2[/tex] and that is also true. So it is safe to say that this is in fact the parent graph of the quadratic function, y = x-squared.
