where is ur Question ?!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The graph of which equation is shown below?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

parabola

OpenStudy (anonymous):

vertex is at \((2,-3)\) so it must look like \[y=a(x-2)^2-3\] all we need is \(a\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i get a ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the curve passes through 4,1 i.e put y=1 when x=4 to get a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we know from the graph that if \(x=0\) you get \(y=1\) because \((0,1)\) is on the graph so replace \(x\) by 0, set the result equal to 1 and solve for \(a\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think we can take a point frm X & another frm Y then we hav 1 variable & we can get a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[1=a(0-2)^2-3\] \[1=4a-3\] \[4=4a\] \[a=1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and so your answer is \[y=(x-2)^2-3\] or if you like \[y=x^2-4x+1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thankyou so much!
