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.
Once you calculate the X coordinate using the axis of symmetry (X=-b/2a), you plug that value in for all of the X's in the equation of the parabola. You then solve the equation for the value of Y.
Most likely you have an equation of a parabola. The vertex of a parabola is the location where it changes from going down, to going up (a simplified explanation). Most parabolas that we think of are oriented up or down (the axis is parallel to the y axis), but they could be oriented sideways, or even at an angle. To calculate the vertex of a parabola ususally means to find the coordinates of the vertex.

In the equation y x-5 2 plus 16 the standard form of the equation is 13. You find the answer to this by finding the value of X.
Y=3x^2 and this is in standard form. The vertex form of a prabola is y= a(x-h)2+k The vertex is at (0,0) so we have y=a(x)^2 it goes throug (2,12) so 12=a(2^2)=4a and a=3. Now the parabola is y=3x^2. Check this: It has vertex at (0,0) and the point (2,12) is on the parabola since 12=3x2^2
To find the value of a in a parabola opening up or down subtract the y-value of the parabola at the vertex from the y-value of the point on the parabola that is one unit to the right of the vertex.

First you need more details about the parabola. Then - if the parabola opens upward - you can assume that the lowest point of the triangle is at the vertex; write an equation for each of the lines in the equilateral triangle. These lines will slope upwards (or downwards) at an angle of 60°; you must convert that to a slope (using the tangent function). Once you have the equation of the lines and the parabola, solve them simultaneously to check at what points they cross. Finally you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the length.
Suppose the equation of the parabola is y = ax2 + bx + c where a, b, and c are constants, and a ≠0. The roots of the parabola are given by x = [-b ± sqrt(D)]/2a where D is the discriminant. Rather than solve explicitly for the coordinates of the vertex, note that the vertical line through the vertex is an axis of symmetry for the parabola. The two roots are symmetrical about x = -b/2a so, whatever the value of D and whether or not the parabola has real roots, the x coordinate of the vertex is -b/2a. It is simplest to substitute this value for x in the equation of the parabola to find the y-coordinate of the vertex, which is c - b2/2a.
To find the vertex of a quadratic equation in standard form, (y = ax^2 + bx + c), you can use the vertex formula. The x-coordinate of the vertex is given by (x = -\frac{b}{2a}). Once you have the x-coordinate, substitute it back into the equation to find the corresponding y-coordinate. The vertex is then the point ((-\frac{b}{2a}, f(-\frac{b}{2a}))).
