What is the equation of the following graph?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

What is the vertex?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5,1

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Plug that into vertex form. Use the root (4,0). Replace x with 4, Replace y with 0. Solve for a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=ax^2+bx+c that equation?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got a=0/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i pluged in 5 for h and 1 for k is that right?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

That would be 0 and it wouldn't be a parabola.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok soo then scince its 0 would u plug that for a?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[0=a(4-5)^2+1\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Solve for a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a=1

OpenStudy (mertsj):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm let me try again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[0=a(-1)^{2}+1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[0=a(1)+1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[-1=a\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh haha

OpenStudy (mertsj):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. f(x) = x2 + 10x - 24 B. f(x) = -x2 + 10x - 24 C. f(x) = x2 - 10x + 24 D. f(x) = -x2 + 10x + 24 its not c or a how do i find the rest ? or the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because c and a are not -

OpenStudy (mertsj):

y=a(x−h)^2+k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like plug in all of those #

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Plug in a, h, and k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Where did the x and y go? What part of plug in a, h and k do you not understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y=-1(x-5)^{2}+1?\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Now expand the binomial and collect like terms and see which choice it is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got y=-x2-26 \[y=-1(x^{2}+25)+1 \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-24* not 26

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Perhaps you need to review how to multiply (x-5)(x-5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry had a lagg i would do y=-1(x-5)(x-5)+1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or just y=(x-5)(x-5)
