2 3 Graph y = (x + 1)2 – 2. 2 3 The graph of y = (x + 1)2 – 2 is a translation of the graph of the parent function y = x2. 2 3 Step 1: Graph the vertex (–1, –2). Draw the axis of symmetry x = –1. Step 2: Find another point. When x = 2, y = (2 + 1)2 – 2 = 4. Graph (2, 4). 2 3 Step 3: Graph the point corresponding to (2, 4). It is three units to the left of the axis of symmetry at (–4, 4). Step 4: Sketch the curve. Transforming Parabolas Lesson 5-3 Additional Examples You can graph it by translating the parent function or by finding the vertex and the axis of symmetry.
