Question

Write the standard form of the quadratic function whose graph is a parabola with the given vertex and that passes through the given point. (Let x be the independent variable and y be the dependent variable.)

Vertex: (2, 3); point: (0, 2)

Answer 1

`~~~~~~\textit{vertical parabola vertex form} \\\\ y=a(x- h)^2+ k\qquad \begin{cases} \stackrel{vertex}{(h,k)}\\\\ \stackrel{`

`\begin{cases} h=2\\ k=3 \end{cases}\implies y=a(x-2)^2 +3\hspace{5em}\textit{we also know that} \begin{cases} x=0\\ y=2 \end{cases} \\\\\\ 2=a(0-2)^2 + 3\implies -1=a(-2)^2\implies -1=4a\implies \cfrac{-1}{4}=a \\\\\\ ~\hfill {\Large \begin{array}{llll} y=-\cfrac{1}{4}(x-2)^2 + 3 \end{array}} ~\hfill`
