Maddie -You may not recognize this right away, but y=(x-2)(x-2) is simply this:Now dig deep into your brain cells and use what you learned about "transformations".  Look carefully and you will see that this is simply a horizontal shift of the parabola:The trick is remembering which way to shift ... is it left or right?  Negative always is a shift to the right!  So take a plain old vanilla parabola and shift it two units to the right!
