How do you graph a parabola with these points (20)(70)(0-8) and vertex in vertex form?

To graph a parabola given the points (20, 70) and (0, -8) with the vertex in vertex form, first, identify the vertex, which is the midpoint of the x-coordinates of the points if they are symmetric. Assuming the vertex is at the point (h, k), you can use the vertex form of a parabola: (y = a(x - h)^2 + k). Substitute one of the given points into this equation to solve for the value of (a). Finally, plot the vertex and the points, and sketch the parabola opening either upwards or downwards based on the sign of (a).


What is the highest or lowest point on a graph called?

The vertex is the highest or lowest point on a graph.


In a formula for a parabola what do h and k stand for?

In the formula for calculating a parabola the letters h and k stand for the location of the vertex of the parabola. The h is the horizontal place of the vertex on a graph and the k is the vertical place on a graph.


How do you graph y equals x2?

The graph is a parabola facing (opening) upwards with the vertex at the origin.


How do you do a parabola?

A parabola is a graph of a 2nd degree polynomial function. Two graph a parabola, you must factor the polynomial equation and solve for the roots and the vertex. If factoring doesn't work, use the quadratic equation.


How do you make a parabola graph downwards if you can't change the vertex?

Change it from positive to negative


What is the parabola?

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.


What is the y-coordinate of the vertex of the parabola that is given by the equation below?

We will be able to identify the answer if we have the equation. We can only check on the coordinates from the given vertex.


What different information do you get from vertex form and quadratic equation in standard form?

The graph of a quadratic function is always a parabola. If you put the equation (or function) into vertex form, you can read off the coordinates of the vertex, and you know the shape and orientation (up/down) of the parabola.


What do you notice the shape of the graph x of the quadratic function yax2?

The shape of the graph of the quadratic function ( y = ax^2 ) is a parabola. If the coefficient ( a ) is positive, the parabola opens upwards, while if ( a ) is negative, it opens downwards. The vertex of the parabola is its highest or lowest point, depending on the direction it opens. The axis of symmetry is the vertical line that passes through the vertex, dividing the parabola into two mirror-image halves.


A parabola that opens upward?

A parabola that opens upward is a U-shaped curve where the vertex is the lowest point on the graph. It can be represented by the general equation y = ax^2 + bx + c, where a is a positive number. The axis of symmetry is a vertical line passing through the vertex, and the parabola is symmetric with respect to this line. The focus of the parabola lies on the axis of symmetry and is equidistant from the vertex and the directrix, which is a horizontal line parallel to the x-axis.
