That is not a function, although it does involve the function of addition. A function is something that is done to numbers.

Interpreting that function as y=x2+2x+1, the graph of this function would be a parabola that opens upward. It would be equivalent to y=(x+1)2. Its vertex would be at (-1,0) and this vertex would be the parabola's only zero.
y=x2+3 x1=1 x2=2 y(x1) = 1*1+3 = 4 y(x2) = 2*2+3 = 7 x2/x1 = 2, While y2/y1 = 7/4 !=2, and thus the function is nonlinear.
1 and 2
It keeps the same shape and size, but the whole thing rises four units on the paper, as if by magic.
x-y = 1 => x = y+1 x2+y2 = 5 => (y+1)(x+1)+y2 = 5 2y2+2y-4 = 0 y = -2 or y = 1 So the points of intersection are: (-1, -2) and (2, 1)
