@chris992 - I can't see what you posted.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OH

OpenStudy (zale101):

The graph doesn't have much info to find the equation of. The only point i know is the y-intercept (0,4).

OpenStudy (zale101):

If i can point out the vertex, i can autmatically find the equation of a parabola. What i prefer to do: Start by writing down the vertex equation of a parabola \(y=(x-h)^2+k\) Where h and k are the vertex. Since the graph is already given, pin point the vertex of the parabola.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Zale101 - Is the vertex (3, -5)?

OpenStudy (zale101):

From what i'm observing, i thinks so..

OpenStudy (zale101):

\(y=(x-3)^2-5\) Foil \((x-3)^2\) and subtract 5 to get the parabola equation in a standard form.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Zale101 - That would be \[y = x ^{2} - 6x + 4\]

OpenStudy (zale101):

Correct :)

OpenStudy (zale101):

What is the y-intercept of y=x^2-6x+4 ?

OpenStudy (zale101):

Hint: Set x=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Zale101 - It is (0, 4) according to my graphing calculator.

OpenStudy (zale101):

\(y=x^2-6x+4 \) \(y=0^2=6(0)+4\) \(y=4\) Y-intercept is (0,4) which it's shown on your graph. SO the standard for of your equation is y=x^2-6x+4

OpenStudy (zale101):

standard form*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Zale101 - Thank you so much!

OpenStudy (zale101):

No problem. Next time i would like to see you type and show your work here when i asked you to foil and subtract.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Zale101 - I apologize. Here's my work: \[y = (x-3)^{2} - 5\] y = (x-3)(x-3) - 5 y = (x)(x) + (x)(-3) + (-3) (x) + (-3)(-3) \[y = (x ^{2} - 3x - 3x + 9) - 5\] \[y = x ^{2} - 6x + 4\] Thanks again!
