The general formula to form a parabole equation is written below. y = a(x - h)² + k with (x,y) is one of the points lies on the parabola, and (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola.
From the question above, we get this information (x,y) = (5,24) (h,k) = (4,9) The remaining value to find is a. We need to find the value of a to form the equation. Input the numbers to the equation. y = a(x - h)² + k 24 = a(5 - 4)² + 9 24 = a(1) + 9 24 = a + 9 24 - 9 = a a = 15
Write the equation, without inputing the value of x and y y = a(x - h)² + k y = 15(x - 4)² + 9 <em>This is the equation</em>
