Givens.

• The vertex is (-2,8).

,

• The y-intecept is (0,7).

Given that we know the vertex and the y-intercept, we can use the standard form to find the equation.


f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k

Where h = -2, k = 8, x = 0, and f(x) = 7. Find a.


\begin{gathered} 7=a(0-(-2))^2+8 \\ 7=a(4)+8 \\ 7-8=4a \\ a=(-1)/(4) \end{gathered}

Once we have a, we can write the complete formula for the function.


f(x)-(1)/(4)(x+2)^2+8
