@chris992 - I can't see what you posted.
OH
The graph doesn't have much info to find the equation of. The only point i know is the y-intercept (0,4).
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.
@Zale101 - Is the vertex (3, -5)?
From what i'm observing, i thinks so..
\(y=(x-3)^2-5\) Foil \((x-3)^2\) and subtract 5 to get the parabola equation in a standard form.
@Zale101 - That would be \[y = x ^{2} - 6x + 4\]
Correct :)
What is the y-intercept of y=x^2-6x+4 ?
Hint: Set x=0
@Zale101 - It is (0, 4) according to my graphing calculator.
\(y=x^2-6x+4 \) \(y=0^2=6(0)+4\) \(y=4\) 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
standard form*
@Zale101 - Thank you so much!
No problem. Next time i would like to see you type and show your work here when i asked you to foil and subtract.
@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!
