<span> well since 0.02 is less it seems to me you have to subtract 0.02 from 1.423
and your answer will be 1.403</span>
Answer: Choice D. y = (x-1)^2 - 3
The vertex is (h,k) = (1,-3). So h = 1 and k = -3.
We have a = 1 as the leading coefficient.
Plug those values into the equation below
y = a(x-h)^2 + k
y = 1(x - 1)^2 + (-3)
y = (x - 1)^2 - 3

<span>the missing exponent is
-3</span>
