Question

Opens down with compression coefficient of 0.2. Shifted right 1 unit and down 6 unitshow can I write this in a parabola equation that has specified features? I dont understand

Answer 1

We have the following:

A parabola can have the following form:

`y=x^2`

The compression coefficient would be the value that directly multiplies the term x squared.

To lower the parabola by 6 units we must subtract a total of 6 from the term x squared.

And to move it to the right by 1 unit we must subtract 1 from the value of x inside the square.

The following equation would remain:

`y=0.2\cdot(x-1)^2-6`
