Question

Use the method of completing the square to write the equation of the given parabola in this form:

Answer 1

This is a very challenging equation but I'll try my best!

y-k=a(x-h)^2
$Vertex(1,1) ----\ \textgreater \ y-1=a(x-1)^2 contains~ the ~point (0,-3) ----\ \textgreater \ 1-1=a(0-,-3)^2 ----\ \textgreater \ 1=-2a ----\ \textgreater \ a=1/-2 Equation: Y-1=1/-2(x-2)^2$
