Answer 1

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k ) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier.

here (h, k ) = (3, 1 ) , then

y = a(x - 3)² + 1

to find a substitute any other point on the graph into the equation.

using (0, 7 )

7 = a(0 - 3)² + 1 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

6 = a(- 3)² = 9a ( divide both sides by 9 )

$\frac{6}{9}$ = $\frac{2}{3}$ = a

y = $\frac{2}{3}$ (x - 3)² + 1 ← in vertex form

------------------------------------------------------

the equation of a parabola in factored form is

y = a(x - a)(x - b)

where a, b are the zeros and a is a multiplier

here zeros are - 1 and 3 , the factors are

(x - (- 1) ) and (x - 3), that is (x + 1) and (x - 3)

y = a(x + 1)(x - 3)

to find a substitute any other point that lies on the graph into the equation.

using (0, - 3 )

- 3 = a(0 + 1)(0 - 3) = a(1)(- 3) = - 3a ( divide both sides by - 3 )

1 = a

y = (x + 1)(x - 3) ← in factored form
