Write an equation for the parabolla

Mathematics
1 answer:
pentagon [3]3 years ago
4 0

well, is noteworthy that an x-intercept is when y = 0 or namely is a solution or root of the quadratic, so we know then that the x-intercepts or solutions are at (-1,0) and (3,0), that simply means that

\bf (\stackrel{x}{-1},\stackrel{y}{0})\qquad (\stackrel{x}{3},\stackrel{y}{0})\qquad \begin{cases} x = -1\\ x+1=0\\ \cline{1-1} x=3\\ x-3=0 \end{cases}~\hfill \implies ~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{equation of the parabola}}{y = a(x+1)(x-3)} \\\\\\ \textit{we also know that } \begin{cases} x = 1\\ y = -8 \end{cases}\implies \underline{-8}=a(\underline{1}+1)(\underline{1}-3)

\bf -8=a(2)(-2)\implies -8=-4a\implies \cfrac{-8}{-4}=a\implies \boxed{2=a} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ y=2(x+1)(x-3)\implies y=2(\stackrel{\mathbb{FOIL}}{x^2-2x-3})\implies y=2x^2-4x-6
