solve for y. \[y=a(x-h)^2 + k\] wil have it's vertex at \[(h,k)\] and if a>0 will open up, if a<0 will open down. if|a|<1 then the parabola will be compressed and if |a|>1 then it will be stretched.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i plug in that equation? y=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have to solve for y in the given equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i get that, im confused as to how to rearragne the terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

any help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

start by dividing both sides by 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x+3)^2/8+6= y is what i have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or (to write it another way) \[y=\frac{1}{8}(x+3)^2-6\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is h? what is k?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

perhaps @Psymon can help you from here,,, i need to leave now.
