f(x) = (x-1) ^ 2

would the x-int be 1? and how do you figure out the y-int? and should the turning point be 1 as well? since the degree in this equation is 2 and you subtract 1 from the highest exponent. thanks for the help.

I dont think time travel would be viable only because of the fact that anyone traveling back in time would risk spreading desease like the spanish did to the indians in early america. The same goes for traveling forward in time. The traveler wouldnt be immune to even the common cold in the future but thats just my opinion. whats yours.

Two ladies were shown a paper and asked to tell what its color was. One said red, the other said blue. Who was right? The answer turned out to be that both were right and wrong. One was 'color blind' and saw the paper as red. So color as it is depends on are physical wiring.

So as it turns out, the Sun is what it is, the universe is what it is and reality is what it is, because of who we are. The universe is infinite relative to who we are. In fact, the universe is because we are. If we were in animate stuff, the universe wont exist right?

The owner of the house says it looks his moms hand. I didnt belive him. I accepted a job there earlier, and I picked up the dog to bring to my friends house next door. AGain I was alone. When I left I heard a banging on the doorm then a scratching, then the doorknob twisted and I heard it unlock, i RAN as hard as i could, this house has video camer in the front deck, and the alarm company can watch, and as soon i was inside my friends house the called me and said that tha alarm went off, the door opened, and closed but nodody walked out. I watched out the window as nobody walked in the driveway, I saw the light w. a sensor on it go on and off as if someone was walking, then nothin. I need an explantion asap
