Question 20 • CMS 2026-2027 NC Math 1 CREDIT RECOVERY
Which is the graph of f of x is equal to x squared minus 2 x plus 3 ?
Answer
A
Image with description A coordinate plane with a parabola. The x-axis is labeled from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1 and the y-axis is labeled from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1. The parabola opens upward with its vertex at approximately 0 comma 3, on the y-axis. The curve extends symmetrically upward, with the left arm rising into the upper-left area of the plane and the right arm ending near the point 1 comma 5 at the upper-right edge of the visible portion of the curve.
B
Image with description A coordinate plane with a parabola. The x-axis is labeled from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1 and the y-axis is labeled from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1. The parabola opens upward with its vertex at approximately 2 comma 0, on the x-axis. The curve extends symmetrically upward to the left and to the right, with the left arm rising into the upper-left portion of the plane and the right arm rising into the upper-right portion of the plane.
C
Image with description A coordinate plane with a parabola. The x-axis is labeled from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1 and the y-axis is labeled from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1. The parabola opens upward with its vertex at approximately negative 3 comma 2. The curve extends symmetrically upward, with the left arm rising steeply into the upper-left portion of the plane and the right arm visible in the upper-center area near the y-axis.
D
Image with description A coordinate plane with a parabola. The x-axis is labeled from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1 and the y-axis is labeled from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1. The parabola opens upward with its vertex at approximately negative 1 comma 3. The curve extends symmetrically upward, with the left arm rising steeply into the upper-left portion of the plane and the right arm visible near the y-axis in the upper-center area of the plane.
