Scratch

a pleasant parabola, was taking a peaceful nap when her dream turned into a nightmare: she dreamt that a low-flying pterodactyl was swooping towards her  Startled, she flipped over the horizontal axis, darted up (vertically) by three units, and to the left (horizontally) by two units.  Finally she woke up and realized that her equation was y= (x-1)^2 +3.  What was her equation before she had the bad dream?

This is copied straight out of my pre-calc textbook...Discuss ridiculous attempts made by teachers to make academics more fun.
