Question

Find the equation of a parabola that has a vertex (3,5) and passes through the point (1,13).

Oy= -27 - 3)' +5
Oy=2(x + 3) - 5
Oy=2(0 - 3)' + 5
Oy= -3(2 – 3) + 5
PLEASE HELP ME!!

Answer 1

y = 2(x - 3)² + 5

Explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

Here (h, k) = (3, 5), thus

y = a(x - 3)² + 5

To find a substitute (1, 13) into the equation

13 = a(1 - 3)² + 5 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

8 = 4a ( divide both sides by 4 )

a = 2, then

y = 2(x - 3)² + 5 ← equation of parabola in vertex form
