The vertex of the parabola below is at the point (3, 2) and the point (4, 6) is on the parabola. What is the equation of the parabola?
a. x = 6(y - 3)^2 + 2
b. y = 4(x - 3)^2 + 2
c. y = 2(x - 2)^2 + 3
d. y = 4(x + 3)^2 - 2
**
Standard form of equation for a parabola: y=A(x-h)^2+k, (h,k)=(x,y) coordinates of vertex, A is a multiplier that affects the slope or steepness of the curve.
y=A(x-h)^2+k
plug in vertex coordinates (3,2)
y=A(x-3)^2+2
plug in coordinates of given point (4,6)
6=A(4-3)^2+2
6=A(1)^2+2
6=A+2
A=4
Equation:
y=4(x-3)^2+2
b. is the answer
