How to find the equation of a parabola with vertex at (0,0)if its axis of symmetry is the x-axis and its graph contains the point (-1/2,2)?
***
given point and other data show parabola opens upward.
Its vertex form of equation: y=A(x^2)
plug in coordinates of given point to find A
2=A(-1/2)^2
2=A(1/4)
A=8
equation: y=8x^2
