HELP!!!! I WILL FAN AND MEDAL ETC. PLEASE!!!
Part B

The second part of the new coaster is a parabola.

Ray needs help creating the second part of the coaster. Create a unique parabola in the pattern f(x) = ax2 + bx + c. Describe the direction of the parabola and determine the y-intercept and zeros.

The safety inspector notes that Ray also needs to plan for a vertical ladder through the center of the coaster's parabolic shape for access to the coaster to perform safety repairs. Find the vertex and the equation for the axis of symmetry of the parabola, showing your work, so Ray can include his coaster plan

Answer 2

You are to "create a new parabola" yourself. For example, you could work on the parabola

f(x) = 2 x^2 + 3 x + 7 = 0. Please note that I've made up the coefficients 2, 3 and 7.

Find the vertex and the equation for the axis of symmetry of the parabola, showing your work. Note that a = 2, b = 3, and c = 7.

Answer 3

First choose your own values for a, b and c.
