Question

Which quadratic function in vertex form has a vertex at (3, 4) and passes through the point (7,-4)

Answer 1

First option

Explanation:

Given the following question:

We are being asked to find the quadratic function that has a vertex of (3, 4) and passes through the point (7, -4). Remember that the vertex of any parabola is the point on the top of the parabola, directly in the middle of the top of the function.

First option:


`y=-(1)/(2) (x-3)^2+4`
(see photo below)

As you can see the function has a vertex of (3, 4) which means the point on the top of the parabola is (3, 4) or the vertex. It also passes through the point (7, -4) meaning the first option is your answer.

Hope this helps.
