Standard form of a quadratic f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c
In a quadratic function you find the vertex using the formula x = -b/2a; once you find the x value, substitute it into the equation and solve for y.
To know if a parabola opens up or down you look at the coefficient of the x^2 term. If it is positive, the graph opens up; if it is negative, the graph opens down.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the length of one of the longer sides, a, has been given to be 6.3, plug it into the equation.
2(6.3) + b = 15.7
12.6 + b = 15.7
b = 15.7 - 12.6
b = 3.1
