Answer: 1. x = -2(y - 4)² + 1
2. x = -y² + 5
3. y = -5(x + 1)² + 2
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Notes: The vertex formula of a parabola is x = a(y - k)² + h or y = a(x - h)² + k
- (h, k) is the vertex
- p is the distance from the vertex to the focus
1)
Now input a = -2 and (h, k) = (1, 4) into the equation x = a(y - k)² + h
x = -2(y - 4)² + 1
***********************************************************************************
2)
Now input a = -1 and (h, k) = (5, 0) into the equation x = a(y - k)² + h
x = -1(y - 0)² + 5 → x = -y² + 5
***********************************************************************************
3)
Now input a = -5 and (h, k) = (-1, 2) into the equation y = a(x - h)² + k
y = -5(x + 1)² + 2
