y=a(x=1)^2+3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
a(x+1)^2+3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then put in the other points
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-27=a(-4+1)^2+3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sooo
y=2(x-1)^2+3

u'll get the slope
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yea thats using the vertex
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then u substitue the other points of the graph
OpenStudy (anonymous):
to get the slope
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay

n ones u get the slope u use the slope and the vertex only to get the equation
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[-27=a(-4+1)^2+3 -27=9a=3 -30=9a a=3\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then use the info u have
y=3.3(x-1)^2+3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thats the equation]

how does that go to a y=ax^2+bx+c form? i want to know how you fit the things into this form.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i think
OpenStudy (anonymous):
just open the brakets up
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
n the exponets
