What is the equation written in vertex form of a parabola with a vertex of (–1, 8) that passes through (1, 0)?

Respuesta :

Answer:

y = -2(x + 1)^2 + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola can be written in the form;

y = a(x-h)^2 + k

where a is the multiplier (h,k) is the vertex

so h = -1 and k = 8

Plug in these values

y = a(x + 1)^2 + 8

So to get the value of a, we use the point where the parabola passes through which is the point (1,0)

Simply substitute the values of x and y

0 = a(1 + 1)^2 + 8

0 = a(2)^2 + 8

-8 = 4a

a = -8/4

a = -2

So therefore the equation of the parabola is ;

y = -2(x + 1)^2 + 8

The required equation of parabola with given vertex and point of passing is [tex]y=-2(x+1)^{2}+8[/tex].

Given data:

The vertex of parabola is, (-1, 8).

The vertex is passing through (1, 0).

We know that standard equation parabola is,

[tex]y=a(x-h)^{2}+k[/tex]

Here, a is any multiplier, h and k are the vertices.

From the given problem,

h = -1

k = 8

So substituting the values as,

[tex]y=a(x-(-1))^{2}+8\\y=a(x+1)^{2}+8[/tex]..............................................(1)

To obtain the value of a, we use the point where the parabola passes through which is the point (1,0). Here, x = 1 and y =0.

So,

[tex]0=a(1+1)^{2}+8\\\\a = -2[/tex]

Substitute the value of a in equation (1) as,

[tex]y=(-2)(x+1)^{2}+8\\\\y=-2(x+1)^{2}+8[/tex]

Thus, the required equation of parabola is  [tex]y=-2(x+1)^{2}+8[/tex].
