SOLUTION: 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(

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 Found 2 solutions by Edwin McCravy, josgarithmetic:Answer by Edwin McCravy(20060) (Show Source):
<--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.
