\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+-+%28x+-+3+%29%5E2+-1\"
\n" ); document.write( "Using the vertex form of a parabola, \"y=a%28x-h%29%5E2+%2Bk\" (h,k) is the vertex
\n" ); document.write( "(3,-1) is the vertex
\n" ); document.write( "a = -1 parabola opens downward (vertex is a maximum)
\n" ); document.write( "(0, -10) is where it crosses the y axis
\n" ); document.write( "\"graph%28+300%2C+300%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C-%28x-3%29%5E2-1%29+\" \n" ); document.write( "
