Question 738372: Please tell me how I can solve this problem.
Write the standard form of the equation of the parabola with axis of symmetry x=-1, vertex at (-1, 5) and where f(0)= 3. Graph the equation.
Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
When the form of the equation is

The x-coordinate of the vertex is at
, so

-----------
So far I have

------------
You are given the point ( -1,5 ), so

Now I have

Also given the point
(3,0)

and, since

and

--------------
The equation is:

--------------
check:
Is the vertex at (-1,5) ?

OK
Does it go through (3,0) ?

OK
