The vertex of this parabola is at -3 -1 When the y-value is 0 the x-value is 4. The coefficient of the squared term in the parabolas equation is 7

The vertex of this parabola is at -5 -2 When the x-value is -4 the y-value is 2. The coefficient of the squared expression in the parabola's equation is 4. y = a(x - h)2 + k; (h, k) = (-5, -2); (x, y) = (-4, 2) 2 = a[-4 -(-5)]2 - 2, add 2 to both sides 4 = a(-4 +5)2 4 = a(1)2 4 = a
To have a parabola with only one x-intercept, the vertex of the parabola must lie on the x-axis. This means the parabola opens either upwards or downwards, depending on the coefficient of the squared term in the equation. If the coefficient is positive, the parabola opens upwards, and if it is negative, the parabola opens downwards. By adjusting the coefficients in the equation of the parabola, you can position the vertex such that there is only one x-intercept.
Question can be taken as multiple meanings. Please see discussion.
If the number in front of the x squared is negative, then the parabola will open upwards. The opposite occurs when the number is positive.

It is 1/16.
A coefficient is a number that accompanies a variable. For example, in the expression 2x + 4, the coefficient is 2.
The vertex of this parabola is at -2 -3 When the y-value is -2 the x-value is -5. The coefficient of the squared term in the parabola's equation is -3.
The vertex of this parabola is at 5 5 When the x-value is 6 the y-value is -1. The coefficient of the squared expression in the parabola's equation is -6.
A parabola is a type of graph that is not linear, and mostly curved. A parabola has the "x squared" sign in it's equation. A parabola is not only curved, but all the symmetrical. The symmetrical point, the middle of the parabola is called the vertex. You can graph this graph with the vertex, x-intercepts and a y-intercept. A parabola that has a positive x squared would be a smile parabola, and the one with the negative x squared would be a frown parabola. Also, there are the parabolas that are not up or down, but sideways Those parabolas have x=y squared, instead of y = x squared.

Vertex = (3, - 2)Put in vertex form.(X - 3)2 + 2X2 - 6X + 9 + 2 = 0X2 - 6X + 11 = 0=============The coefficeint of the squared term is 1. My TI-84 confirms the (4, 3) intercept of the parabola and the 11 Y intercept shown by the function.
If you want to sketch graphs you have to observe the parabola first then find the vertex afterwards you connect them and you've arrived at your answer. In order to write equations for parabolas it has to have x square in it. The standard equation for a parabola is (y - k)2 = 4a(x - h) where h and k are the x- and y-coordinates of the vertex of the parabola and 'a' is a non zero real number. This website at the related link should help, for the equation at least. A parabola is a basic U shaped graph that meets at one point called a vertex. The equation for Andy parabola must have a number being squared such as x2.
An equation for a parabola always has some type of irregular variable, usually a squared variable or higher.
