\bf \qquad \textit{parabola vertex form}\\\\
\begin{array}{llll}
\boxed{y=a(x-{{ h}})^2+{{ k}}}\\\\
x=a(y-{{ k}})^2+{{ h}}
\end{array} \qquad\qquad  vertex\ ({{ h}},{{ k}})\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
y=a(x-(-4))^2-1\implies y=a(x+4)^2-1
\\\\\\
\textit{now, we also know that }
\begin{cases}
y=0\\
x=2
\end{cases}\implies \underline{0}=a(\underline{2}+4)^2-1

solve for "a"

Area of square is numerically less than twice its diagonal by 2. Find its Perimeter.
Usimov [2.4K]
2D-a^2=2

2(a√2) -a^2=2

a^2-2√2*a+2=0

2a= 2√2 + √(8-4*2) = 2√2 
hence, perimeter = 4a = 2*2a=2*2√2 = 4√2
