Question

Write 1 quadratic equation that forms a graph through the points (-4, 0) and (2.0) and has a maximum value at the vertex.

Answer 1

P1 = (-4, 0)

P2 = (2,0)

From the information given, we can conclude that this is a vertical parabola that opens downwards.

Also we can see that the vertex is not (0,0)

Equation

(x - h)^2 = 4p(y - k)

To find the equation I need three point, to form 3 equations.

The values that I need to find are: h, k and p
