Write the vertex form of the equation and find the necessary coefficient to make it work.
.. y = a*(x +3)^2 -2
.. = ax^2 +6ax +9a -2
You require the y-intercept to be 7. So, for x=0, you have
.. 9a -2 = 7
.. 9a = 9
.. a = 1
The equation you seek is
.. y = x^2 +6x +7
.. y = a*(x +3)^2 -2
.. = ax^2 +6ax +9a -2
You require the y-intercept to be 7. So, for x=0, you have
.. 9a -2 = 7
.. 9a = 9
.. a = 1
The equation you seek is
.. y = x^2 +6x +7
well, we know that θ is in the III Quadrant, where the sine is negative and the cosine is negative as well, or if you wish, where "x" as well as "y" are both negative, now, the hypotenuse or radius of the circle is just a distance amount, so is never negative, so in the equation of cos(θ) = - (2/5), the negative must be the adjacent side, thus
