SOLUTION: Find an equation in standard form of the parabola described. Vertex at (−4, −2); passes through (−3, 0) and (9/4, 3) standard form: (y-k)^2 =4p(x-h)

Question 1162555: Find an equation in standard form of the parabola described.
Vertex at (−4, −2); passes through (−3, 0) and (9/4, 3)

standard form: (y-k)^2 =4p(x-h)

given: Vertex at (, ); passes through (, ) and (, )

standard form:

where and are coordinates of vertex
since given vertex at (, ), we have

.........eq.1

since passes through (,), we have

so, your equation is:

and since passes through (, ), check if true:

-> true
