The graph of y=(5-2x)^2+1. What are the transformations that have occurred from y=x^2.
Im really confused with the transformations here.

A quadratic equation is a mathematical equation of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are constants and x is the variable. It is also known as a second-degree polynomial equation.
To graph a quadratic equation, you can create a table of values by choosing different values for x and plugging them into the equation to find the corresponding y values. Then, plot the points on a coordinate plane and connect them with a smooth curve.
The vertex of a quadratic equation is the point where the parabola created by the equation reaches its maximum or minimum value. In the equation y = ax^2 + bx + c, the vertex can be found using the formula (-b/2a, c - (b^2/4a)).
The direction of opening for a quadratic equation can be determined by looking at the coefficient of the x^2 term. If it is positive, the parabola will open upwards, and if it is negative, the parabola will open downwards.
A quadratic equation has real solutions if the discriminant, b^2 - 4ac, is greater than or equal to 0. If the discriminant is equal to 0, the equation will have one real solution, and if it is greater than 0, the equation will have two distinct real solutions.
