Answer:
y + 4 = (x - 2)^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertex form of the equation of a vertical parabola is
y - k = a(x - h)^2, where (h, k) represents the vertex and a is a scaling factor which stretches or compresses the parabola vertically. If all we know is the vertex (2, -4), then the desired equation is:
y + 4 = a(x - 2)^2
If there is no vertical stretching or compression, then the equation becomes:
y + 4 = (x - 2)^2
Answer:
y = x² - 4x
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola in vertex form is
y = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k ) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
Here (h, k ) = (2, - 4) , with a = 1 , the equation is
y = (x - 2)² - 4 ← expand using FOIL
= x² - 4x + 4 - 4
y = x² - 4x ← equation of parabola
