Answer: f(x) = (x - 3)²

Explanation:

Use the vertex formula: y = a(x - h)² + k

and input the vertex (h, k) = (3, 0) and the given point (x, y) = (4, 2) to solve for a

2 = a(4 - 3)² + 0

2 = a(1)²

2 = a

Now, input (h, k) = (3, 0) and a = 1 into the vertex formula:

y = 1(x - 3)² + 0 → y = (x - 3)²

Answer: g(x) = -(x + 1.25)² + 2.5625

Explanation:

Use the vertex formula: y = a(x - h)² + k

and input the given points for (x, y) to create a system of equations, then solve for a, h, and k.

EQ1: 2 = a(-2 - h)² + k

2 = a(4 + 4h + h²) + k

2 - 4a - 4ah - ah² = k


EQ2: 1 = a(0 - h)² + k

1 = ah² + k

1 - ah² = k


EQ3: -2.5 = a(1 - h)² + k

-2.5 = a(1 - 2h + h²) + k

-2.5 -a + 2h + ah² = k

Substitute - set EQ1 = EQ2 and EQ2 = EQ3 to eliminate k

EQ1 = EQ2: 2 - 4a - 4ah - ah² = 1 - ah²

1 - 4a - 4ah = 0

EQ2 = EQ3: 1 - ah² = -2.5 - a + 2ah - ah²

3.5 + a - 2ah = 0

Elimination: - now solve the system for "a"

1 - 4a - 4ah = 0 → 1(1 - 4a - 4ah = 0) → 1 - 4a - 4ah = 0

3.5 + a - 2ah = 0 → -2(3.5 + a - 2ah = 0) → -7 - 2a + 4ah = 0

-6 - 6a = 0

-6a = 6

a = -1

Next, replace "a" with -1 into either of the equations to solve for "h"

1 - 4a - 4ah = 0

1 - 4(-1) - 4(-1)h = 0

1 + 4 + 4h = 0

5 + 4h = 0

4h = -5

h = -1.25

Now, replace "a" with -1 and "h" with -1.25 into any of the original equations (EQ1, EQ2, or EQ3) to solve for k:

1 - ah² = k

1 - (-1)(-1.25)² = k

1 - (-1)(1.5625) = k

1 + 1.5625 = k

2.5625 = k

Now, input (h, k) = (-1.25, 2.5625) and a = -1 into the vertex formula:

y = -1(x - (-1.25))² + 2.5625 → y = -(x + 1.25)² + 2.5625
