Question

I WILL MARK BRAINLIEST! A parabola opening up or down has vertex (0,3) and passes through (4,7). Write its equation in vertex form.

Answer 1

I couldn't copy paste the equation on here, so i attached it in pictures.

Answer 2

Ok...so we have this........

y = ax2 + 4      ....... and we need to find "a"

So we have

-1 = a(-10)2 + 4

-5 = a (100)

(-1/20) = a      .......  So we have ..........

y = (-1/20)(x- 0)2 + 4   or just  (-1/20)x2 + 4

Note that this parabola opens downward...That makes sense since the vertex is above the x axis and the parabola passes through a point below the x axis.

Hope This Helped!
