Quadratics: Writing Vertex Form, Algebra 1- Mrs. Daniel, Kuta Software

Answer:
[tex]y=a(x-h)^{2} +k[/tex]
Where [tex](h,k)[/tex] represents the coordinates of the vertex, the points where the parabola returns.
In the first exercise (number 7 in the image), we observe that the vertex is at [tex](-4,1)[/tex], and a points that is on the parabola could be [tex](-3,2)[/tex]. So, with this information, we can find the [tex]a[/tex] parameter and form the parabola equation. Replacing all these, we have
[tex]y=a(x-h)^{2} +k[/tex]
[tex]2=a(-3-(-4))^{2} +1[/tex]
Then, we solve for [tex]a[/tex]
[tex]2=a(-3+4)^{2}+1\\ 2=a(1)^{2}+1\\ 2=a+1\\2-1=a\\a=1[/tex]
Now we have all the parameters, the equation of the first parabola is
[tex]y=1(x-(-4))^{2} +1\\ \therefore y=(x+4)^{2}+1[/tex]
In the second exercies (number 8 in the image), the vertex or returning point is at [tex](2,-4)[/tex], and one point on the parabola is (3,-3). Doing the same process as we did in the first exercise, we have
[tex]y=a(x-h)^{2} +k[/tex]
Replacing all values, that is, [tex]x=3[/tex], [tex]y=-3[/tex], [tex]h=2[/tex] and [tex]k=-4[/tex].
[tex]-3=a(3-2)^{2} +(-4)\\-3=a(1)^{2} -4\\-3+4=a\\a=1[/tex]
So, the equation of this parabola is
[tex]y=(x-2)^{2} -4[/tex]
(Number 9 in the image). We apply the same process here. The vertex is at [tex](3,3)[/tex], one point on the parabola is [tex](4,2)[/tex]. Then, we replace in the explicit form to find [tex]a[/tex]
[tex]y=a(x-h)^{2} +k\\2=a(4-3)^{2}+3\\2-3=a\\a=-1[/tex]
Observe that the parameter [tex]a[/tex] is negative, that indicates the parabola is downside.
So, the equation is
[tex]y=a(x-h)^{2} +k\\y=-1(x-3)^{2} +3\\y=-(x-3)^{2} +3[/tex]
(Number 10 in the image). Vertex at (-1,-1), one point on the parabola is (-2,-2). Replacing
[tex]y=a(x-h)^{2} +k\\-2=a(-2-(-1))^{2} +(-1)\\-2=a(-2+1)^{2} -1\\-2+1=a\\a=-1[/tex]
So, the equation is [tex]y=-(x+1)^{2} -1[/tex]
(Number 11 in the image). Vertex at (1,2) and point at (2,4). Replacing
[tex]y=a(x-h)^{2} +k\\4=a(2-1)^{2} +2\\4-2=a\\a=2[/tex]
The equation would be
[tex]y=a(x-h)^{2} +k\\y=2(x-1)^{2} +2[/tex]
(Number 12 in the image). Vertex at (3,-2), point at (2.0). Replacing in the explicit form, we have
[tex]y=a(x-h)^{2} +k\\0=a(2-3)^{2}+(-2)\\ 2=a(-1)^{2} \\a=2[/tex]
So, the equation is
[tex]y=a(x-h)^{2} +k\\y=2(x-3)^{2} -2[/tex]
So, there you have all equations of each parabola. The process in the same for all of them.
