The equation of the vertical parabola in vertex form is written as
Where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and p is the focal distance.
The directrix of a parabola is a line which every point of the parabola is equally distant to this line and the focus of the parabola. The vertex is located between the focus and the directrix, therefore, the distance between the y-coordinate of the vertex and the directrix represents the focal distance.
Using this value for p and (3, 1) as the vertex, we have our equation
Explanation
Answer
As you can see all the possible answers have the same form:
By looking at the picture you'll notice that the graph of g(x) has to pass through the point (2,1). Remember that the points in the graph of g(x) have the form (x,g(x)). Since (2,1) is part of the graph of g(x) then we have the following:
So let's evaluate the expression for g(x) that we wrote before at x=2. This way we'll obtain an equation for the number a:
Then we can divide both sides by 4:
Then we get:
Then the answer is option A.
