Use this form: y= a(x-h)² + k ; plug in the x and y coordinates of the vertex into (h,k) and then the other point coordinates into (x,y) and solve for a.

The standard equation for a Parabola with is vertex at the origin (0,0) is, x2 = 4cy if the parabola opens vertically upwards/downwards, or y2 = 4cx when the parabola opens sideways. As the focus is at (0,6) then the focus is vertically above the vertex and we have an upward opening parabola. Note that c is the distance from the vertex to the focus and in this case has a value of 6 (a positive number). The equation is thus, x2 = 4*6y = 24y
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.

To find the equation of a parabola with vertex at ((-3, 0)) that passes through the point ((3, 18)), we can use the vertex form of a parabola, (y = a(x + 3)^2). To determine the value of (a), substitute the point ((3, 18)) into the equation: [ 18 = a(3 + 3)^2 \implies 18 = a(6)^2 \implies 18 = 36a \implies a = \frac{1}{2}. ] Thus, the equation of the parabola is (y = \frac{1}{2}(x + 3)^2).

A quadratic equation in vertex form is expressed as ( y = a(x - h)^2 + k ), where ((h, k)) is the vertex of the parabola. For a parabola with vertex at ((11, -6)), the equation becomes ( y = a(x - 11)^2 - 6 ). The value of (a) determines the direction and width of the parabola. Without additional information about the parabola's shape, (a) can be any non-zero constant.
To find the coefficient of the squared term in the parabola's equation, we can use the vertex form of a parabola, which is (y = a(x - h)^2 + k), where ((h, k)) is the vertex. Given the vertex at (3, 1), the equation starts as (y = a(x - 3)^2 + 1). Since the parabola passes through the point (4, 0), we can substitute these values into the equation: (0 = a(4 - 3)^2 + 1), resulting in (0 = a(1) + 1). Solving for (a), we find (a = -1). Thus, the coefficient of the squared term is (-1).
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 determine the equation of a parabola with a vertex at the point (5, -3), we can use the vertex form of a parabola's equation: (y = a(x - h)^2 + k), where (h, k) is the vertex. Substituting in the vertex coordinates, we have (y = a(x - 5)^2 - 3). The value of "a" will determine the direction and width of the parabola, but any equation in this form with varying "a" values could represent the parabola.
The standard equation for a Parabola with is vertex at the origin (0,0) is, x2 = 4cy if the parabola opens vertically upwards/downwards, or y2 = 4cx when the parabola opens sideways. As the focus is at (0,6) then the focus is vertically above the vertex and we have an upward opening parabola. Note that c is the distance from the vertex to the focus and in this case has a value of 6 (a positive number). The equation is thus, x2 = 4*6y = 24y

Finding the vertex of the parabola is important because it tells you where the bottom (or the top, for a parabola that 'opens' downward), and thus where you can begin graphing.
Vertex form is denoted by: y=a(x-h)2+k Where (h,k) is the vertex. So, we have: y=a(x-2)2+3 (This super\subscript thing is annoying). Plug in the values for x and y for the point in the equation and you have your answer.
