Answer
The axis of symmetry is $x=1$.
domain: $(-\infty,\infty)$
range: $[3, \infty)$
Work Step by Step
To graph $f(x)=a(x-h)^{2}+k$,
1. Determine whether the parabola opens upward or downward.
If $a>0$, it opens upward. If $a<0$, it opens downward.
2. Determine the vertex of the parabola. The vertex is $(h, k)$.
3. Find any x-intercepts by solving $f(x)=0$.
The function's real zeros are the x-intercepts.
4. Find the y-intercept by computing $f(0)$.
5. Plot the intercepts, the vertex, and additional points as necessary
Connect these points with a smooth curve that is shaped like a bowl or an inverted bowl.
------------------
$y-3=(x-1)^{2}\qquad.../+3$
$y=(x-1)^{2}+3$
1. opens up (a=1).
2. vertex: ($1,\ 3$)$. $The axis of symmetry is $x=1$.
3. x-intercepts:
$0=(x-1)^{2}+3$
$(x-1)^{2}=-3$
(a square of a real number can not be $-3$)
No x-intercepts
4. y-intercept:
$y=(0-1)^{2}+3=4$
5. see graph
The axis of symmetry is $x=1$.
