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).
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).
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. Here, the vertex is ((-3, -1)), so the equation becomes (y = a(x + 3)^2 - 1). Given that when (y = 0), (x = 4), we can substitute these values into the equation to find (a): [0 = a(4 + 3)^2 - 1 \implies 0 = a(7^2) - 1 \implies 1 = 49a \implies a = \frac{1}{49}.] Thus, the coefficient of the squared term is (\frac{1}{49}).
The points at which the parabola intersects the x axis are 3-sqrt(10)/2 and 3+sqrt(10)/2. The X position of the vertex is in the middle, at 3. The y position, from there, is simply found by substituting 2 for x in the equation. As a result, the vertex is at (3, 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.

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.
Y=a(x-h)+k is the vertex formula. Since the vertex is at (-2,-3) this parabola has the equation: y=a(x+2)^2-3 We can plug in x=-1 but we really need to know a, to solve for y. ( we can solve it, but we will have an a in the solution)

For a parabola with an axis of symmetry parallel to the x-axis, the equation of a parabola is given by: (y - k)² = 4p(x - h) Where the vertex is at (h, k), and the distance between the focus and the vertex is p (which can be calculated as p = x_focus - x_vertex). For the parabola with vertex (1, -3) and focus (2, -3) this gives: h = 1 k = -3 p = 2 - 1 = 1 → parabola is: (y - -3)² = 4×1(x - 1) → (y + 3)² = 4(x - 1) This can be expanded to: 4x = y² + 6y + 13 or x = (1/4)y² + (3/2)y + (13/4)
