SOLUTION: Let f(x) = a(x-h)^2+k. The vertex of the graph of f is at (2,3) and the graph passes through (1,7). a. Write down the value of h and of k. (For this part I got h=2 and k=3) I'm

Question 1094289: Let f(x) = a(x-h)^2+k. The vertex of the graph of f is at (2,3) and the graph passes through (1,7).
a. Write down the value of h and of k.
(For this part I got h=2 and k=3) I'm not sure if that's correct.
b. Find the value of a.
