Is it possible to write an equation for such a parabola in the form f(x)=(x-a)(x-b).

Sagot :

Yes. Parabola is possible to write an equation in the form f(x) = (x-a)(x-b)

Parabola is a symmetrical open plane curve formed by the intersection of a cone with a plane parallel to its side. The path of a projectile under the influence of gravity follows a curve of this shape.

A parabola can be described in the form of a general equation

[tex]y=ax^{2} +bx+c[/tex], with a, b, c is integers.

The form f(x)=(x-a)(x-b) can be made in other forms :

[tex]y=(x-a)(x-b)[/tex]

[tex]y=x^{2} -bx-ax+ab[/tex]

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

That form of the equation is the same as : [tex]y=ax^{2} +bx+c[/tex]

With :  

a = 1

b = -(b+a)

c = ac
