1 answer:
The equation of the quadratic function shown in the graph y - 8 = -2(x + 1)².
<h3>How to illustrate the graph?</h3>The vertex of this parabola is (-1, 8). It opens downward, so the x² term has a negative coefficient. The zeros are (-3, 0) and (1, 0), and the y-intercept is (0, 7).
Through the vertex form of the equation of a parabola we get:
y - (8) = a(x - (-1)) + 7, or.y - 8 = a(x + 1)².
Find coefficient a by substituting the coordinates (-3, 0) in this equation:
0 - 8 = a(-3 + 1)^2, or
-8 = a(-2)² or a = -2
The desired equation is y - 8 = -2(x + 1)^2

The answer is: No, because we also need to know the type of proportionality
In mathematics, we talk about proportionality when two variables are related and this relationship is that there is a constant ratio between them. There are two types of proportionality.
1. Direct Proportionality:
If there are two variables x and y, we can write the relationship between them as follows:
So, by substituting the point in this equation we have that the constant of proportionality is:
2. Inverse Proportionality:
In this case, the relationship is:
So, the constant of proportionality is:
As you can see, we have found two different values of the constant of proportionality. So, it is necessary to know the type of proportionality.
