Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Vertex form of a quadratic equation;

Vertex of the parabolas (h, k)
The vertex of the parabola is either the minimum or maximum of the parabola. The axis of symmetry goes through the x-coordinate of the vertex, hence h = -3. The minimum of the parabola is the y-coordinate of the vertex, so k= 7. Now substitute it into the formula;

Now substitute in the given point; ( -1, 9) and solve for a;

Hence the equation in vertex form is;

In standard form it is;

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Here the average rate of change would be
f(6) - f(1) 162 - (-8)
a. r. of c. = ----------- = ------------------ = 154/5 = 308/10 = 30.8 or 30 8/10
6-1 5 or 30 4/5
