The equation of the quadratic function shown in the graph y - 8 = -2(x + 1)².
<h3>How to illustrate the graph?</h3>The vertex of this parabola is (-1, 8). It opens downward, so the x² term has a negative coefficient. The zeros are (-3, 0) and (1, 0), and the y-intercept is (0, 7).
Through the vertex form of the equation of a parabola we get:
y - (8) = a(x - (-1)) + 7, or.y - 8 = a(x + 1)².
Find coefficient a by substituting the coordinates (-3, 0) in this equation:
0 - 8 = a(-3 + 1)^2, or
-8 = a(-2)² or a = -2
The desired equation is y - 8 = -2(x + 1)^2
