There are actually two parabolas that meet this criteria, a \"y\" parabola, and an \"x\" parabola
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "the standard form for a \"y\" parabola is ,,,, ( y-k) = a (x-h)^2, where (h,k) is the vertex
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "substituting our data,,,, vertex at (5, -7) and (4,1),,,,, ( y-(-7) ) = a (x-5)^2
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "@ ( 4,1),,,, (1) +7 =a ( 4-5)^2,,,,8=a(1),,,, a=8
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"y\" parabola is y+7 = 8(x-5)^2,,,or y= 8(x-5)^2 -7
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "to check substitute in both given points,,,ok
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "The standard form for an \"x\" parabola is,,,,,(x-h) =a ( y-k)^2
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "or (x-5) = a (y+7)^2,,,,,and @ (4,1),,,,, (4-5) = a (1+7)^2,,,,a= -1/64
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "or (x-5) = -1/64 (y+7)^2,,,,,or x= -1/64 (y+7) ^2 +5
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "to check substitute in both sets of points,,,,,,ok \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
