What is the equation of the parabola shown with its focus on this graph?

What Is The Equation Of The Parabola Shown With Its Focus On This Graph class=

Sagot :

Given the shown graph

the vertx is in the point V(0,1)

this means when x values = 0 then y-value=1

Option A and Option C match with this description

now let's check the x-intervals

x-intervals are given when x=0

then

Option A

[tex]y=-\frac{1}{24}x^2+1[/tex][tex]0=-\frac{1}{24}x^2+1[/tex][tex]24=x^2[/tex][tex]x=\sqrt{24}=\pm4.89[/tex]

since the x interval is greater than 4 this don't match with the parabola shown

then the correct answer is option C

[tex]y=-\frac{1}{12}x^2+1[/tex]
