Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify.

-3(x + 2) = 16 - x

Step 2: Solve for x

[Distributive Property] Distribute -3: -3x - 6 = 16 - x
[Addition Property of Equality] Add x on both sides: -2x - 6 = 16
[Addition Property of Equality] Add 6 on both sides: -2x = 22
[Division Property of Equality] Divide -2 on both sides: x = -11

The standard form of a parabole is: (y-k) = a(x-h)², Where (h , k) are the coordinates of the vertex
In the example Vertex (3,1) ,
so (y-1) = a(x-3)². (a)
Now let's calculate a. The y-intercept coordinates(0 , 10), Replace in (a) x by 0 & y by 10:
(10-1) = a(0 - 3)²
9 = 9a and a=1
The equation becomes : y-1 = (x-3)², Expand (y-1) = x²-6x+9
and finally y = x² - 6x +10 (ANSWER C)
