Answer:
y = (x-0)^2 + (-5) ⇒ y = x^2 - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The general vertex form of the parabola y = a(x - h)² + k
Where (h,k) is the coordinates of the vertex.
As shown at the graph the vertex of the parabola is the point (0, -5)
So,
y = a(x-0) + (-5)
y = ax^2 - 5
To find substitute with another point from the graph like (1,-4)
So, at x = 1 ⇒ y = -4
-4 = a * 1^2 - 5
a = -4 + 5 = 1
<u>So, the equation of the given parabola is ⇒ y = x^2 - 5</u>
Okay okay thanks for the update I am on my way to get my car
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First you add 4 on both sides
X^2=0
Then you take square on both sides
X=+- the square root of 4
Simplify that
X=plus or minus 2
The answer can be either -2 or +2 (which is just 2)
