Transcript text: Consider the following function.
\[
r(x)=-x^{2}+6 x-5
\]
Step 4 of 4: Graph the parabola.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the function
The given function is:
\[
r(x) = -x^2 + 6x - 5
\]
Step 2: Determine the type of graph
The function \(r(x)\) is a quadratic function, which means it represents a parabola. We will use the Cartesian coordinate system to plot this function.
Step 3: Define the range for the plot
To graph the parabola, we need to choose an appropriate range for \(x\). Let's use the range \([-1, 7]\) for \(x\) to capture the vertex and the intercepts of the parabola. For \(y\), we will use the range \([-10, 10]\) to ensure the entire parabola is visible.
