Question

Y = a(x _ 2)^2 _ 3. :)

Answer 1

`y = a(x+2)^2-3`

Step-by-step explanation:

You are adding the 2 to move the whole function two times to the left and you are subtracting the 3 so that the minimum of the quadratic function is -3.

Answer 2

y = (x +2)² -3

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the math operators that are needed to properly write the equation of the given parabola in vertex form.

Vertex

The vertex is the low point on the curve. Its coordinates are (-2, -3).

Vertex form

The vertex form of the equation for a parabola is ...

y = a(x -h)² +k

You want the equation for (h, k) = (-2, -3). It is ...

y = a(x +2)² -3

The operators are plus (+) and minus (-).
