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.
A parabola with vertex (h, k) has equation of the form: y = a(x - h)² + k → vertex (k, h) = (-2, -3), and a point on it is (-1, -5) → -5 = a(-1 - -2)² + -3 → -5 = a(1)² - 3 → -5 = a - 3 → a = -2 → The coefficient of the x² term is -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 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.
y = -5 By using calculus, the derivative of y = -2.5(x-4)2 - 5 is y' = -5(x-4). Solving the equation -5(x-4) = 0 gives x = 4 (since the slope of the parabola at the vertex is zero). Plug this back into the equation: y = -2.5(4 - 4) -5 = -5, so the y-coordinate is -5. The equation of the parabola is given in the vertex form y = a(x - h)2 + k, where (h, k) is the vertex. So the vertex is (4, -5).

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 -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
