hartnn (hartnn):

whats the vertex form ..... from last question ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope its a new question

hartnn (hartnn):

i know, but i gave u vertex form in last question... with vertex h,jk

hartnn (hartnn):

h,k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i use it in this one?

hartnn (hartnn):

first write down that equation here , what was it ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

hartnn (hartnn):

right , now put h,k = 5,-3 here means put h=5,k=-3 what u get ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=a(x-5)^2+-3

hartnn (hartnn):

correct. now u have a point x,y=6,1 lying on this parabola so put x=6, y=1 in that equation y=a(x-5)^2-3 and u get a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1=a(6-5)^2-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1=(1)^2-3

hartnn (hartnn):

1=a(1)^2-3

hartnn (hartnn):

1=a-3 a=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4

hartnn (hartnn):

yes, a=4 so final answer is ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1=4(1)^2-3

hartnn (hartnn):

u have h=5,k=-3,a=4 put it in y=a(x-h)^2+k to get the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=4(x-5)^2-3

hartnn (hartnn):

that is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's be yay :D thx
