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?

\[y=a(x-h)^2+k\]
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):
Solve for a
OpenStudy (anonymous):
a=1
OpenStudy (mertsj):
no
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hmm let me try again

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

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

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