Answer:
Explanation:
Vertex of the given parabola = (1, -4)
Since, vertex form of a parabola is given by,
y = (x - h)² + k
Here (h, k) is the vertex
Now substitute the coordinates (1, -4) in the equation.
y = (x - 1)²- 4 [Vertex Form]
Further solve this equation,
y = x² - 2x + 1 - 4
y = x² - 2x - 3 [Standard form]
Further write this equation in the factored form,
y = x² - 3x + x - 3
y = x(x - 3) + 1(x - 3)
y = (x + 1)(x - 3) [Factored form]
