00:00 Find the appropriate function for the parabola with the minimum point
00:06 Let's check this function
00:09 Let's substitute the X of the minimum point and check Y
00:17 Y = 0 as we wanted
00:24 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we need to ensure that the parabola's vertex is located at (2,0) (2,0) . We use the vertex form of a quadratic equation y=a(xh)2+k y = a(x-h)^2 + k , where (h,k)(h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.

Given the minimum point or vertex as (2,0) (2,0) , we identify h=2 h = 2 and k=0 k = 0 . Substituting these into the vertex form gives:

y=a(x2)2+0 y = a(x-2)^2 + 0

Since we are looking for a parabola with a minimum point, a a should be positive. The simplest positive value for a a is 1, giving:

y=(x2)2 y = (x-2)^2

This matches choice 1. Therefore, the correct representation of the function is:

y=(x2)2 y=(x-2)^2

Answer

y=(x2)2 y=(x-2)^2
