Question 1187756: Find the equation of parabola with the given condition:
Axis vertical and passing through (0,0)(1,0) and (5,-20)
Note: Do not use y=ax^2+bx+c as the equation
Use: (x-h)^2=-4a(y-k)
Can you also show me the solution? Ty

  <--since both equal 4ak

 <--subtract h2 from both sides





   



  <--since h2 equals 4ak







  

  <--multiply through by 4















So the equation of the parabola is





You simply further.
