Answer 1

So remember the formula \(\large y=a(x-h)^2+k\)? we're given v=(h,k)=(5,5), x=6, y=-1, we'retrying to find"a" so plugging in all of them what do you get?

Answer 2

wait im confused

Answer 3

how do i do that

Answer 4

plug the values in, you mean?

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

howdo i find a

Answer 7

oh okay,
1) we have our vertex, which are points (h,k) represented by (5,5) according to the problem.
2) x-value = 6
3) y-value = -1
4) equation = \(\large y=a(x-h)^2+k\)

Answer 8

now we plug in ALL those values that we were given INTO \(\large y=a(x-h)^2+k\)

Answer 9

ok i got that

Answer 10

\[\large \color{fuchsia}{-1}=\color{blue}a(\color{fuchsia}6-\color{fuchsia}5)+\color{fuchsia}5\] see how the "a" is blue? we're going to solve THIS equation for THAT value.\[\large -1=a(1)+5\]\[\large -1-5=a(1)\]\[\large -6= a\]

Answer 11

do you see how we solved it now by inputting ALL our givens into that equation?

Answer 12

i forgot to include the squared symbol... D:::

Answer 13

yes i have 2 more is that ok

Answer 14

Use the formula i have given you and try them by yourself! :) I'm headed afk for a bit

Answer 15

You'll do fine, I believe in you!!

Answer 16

Answer 17

this one is toward the right what do i do?
