Question

Determine the equation of the parabola graphed below. Note: be sure to consider the negative sign already present in the template equation when entering your answer. A parabola is plotted, concave up, with vertex located at coordinates negative one and negative four.

Answer 1

The equation of the parabola graphed is given as follows:

y = a(x + 1)² - 4.

What is the equation of a parabola given it’s vertex?

The equation of a quadratic function, of vertex (h,k), is given by:

y = a(x - h)² + k

In which a is the leading coefficient.

Considering the vertex given, we have that h = -1, k = -4, hence the equation is:

y = a(x + 1)² - 4
