1. The first problem asks to sketch the function $f(x) = (x - 5)^2$.
2. This is a parabola that opens upwards with its vertex at the point $(5, 0)$.
3. The general form of a parabola is $f(x) = (x - h)^2$ where $(h, 0)$ is the vertex.
4. Here, $h = 5$, so the vertex is at $(5, 0)$.
5. To sketch, plot the vertex and a few points around it, for example:
- At $x=4$, $f(4) = (4-5)^2 = 1$
- At $x=6$, $f(6) = (6-5)^2 = 1$
- At $x=3$, $f(3) = (3-5)^2 = 4$
- At $x=7$, $f(7) = (7-5)^2 = 4$
6. Connect these points with a smooth curve opening upwards.
7. The second problem asks to graph and label $y = |x|$ and $y = |2x|$.
8. The function $y = |x|$ is a V-shaped graph with vertex at $(0,0)$.
9. The function $y = |2x|$ is similar but steeper because of the factor 2.
10. For $y = |x|$, points include:
- $(0,0)$, $(1,1)$, $(-1,1)$
11. For $y = |2x|$, points include:
- $(0,0)$, $(1,2)$, $(-1,2)$
12. Plot these points and connect with straight lines forming V shapes.
Final answers:
- $f(x) = (x-5)^2$ is a parabola with vertex at $(5,0)$.
- $y = |x|$ and $y = |2x|$ are V-shaped graphs with vertices at $(0,0)$, the latter steeper.
