\"y+=+3x%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To show this, Let \"y+=+a%28x-h%29%5E2+%2B+k\"
\n" ); document.write( "==> \"3+=+a%281-h%29%5E2+%2B+k\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"12+=+a%282-h%29%5E2+%2B+k\", and
\n" ); document.write( "\"48+=+a%284-h%29%5E2+%2B+k\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Subtracting the 1st from the 2nd, we get \"9+=+a%282-h%29%5E2+-+a%281-h%29%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "<==> 9 = 3a - 2ah
\n" ); document.write( "Subtracting the 2nd from the 3rd, we get \"36=+a%284-h%29%5E2+-+a%282-h%29%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "<==> 36 = 12a - 4ah, or 9 = 3a - ah.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now we have the equations 9 = 3a - 2ah, and 9 = 3a - ah.
\n" ); document.write( "subtracting the first from the second, we get ah = 0.
\n" ); document.write( "Since \"a%3C%3E0\", we have h = 0.
\n" ); document.write( "Substituting h = 0 into \"3+=+a%281-h%29%5E2+%2B+k\" and \"12+=+a%282-h%29%5E2+%2B+k\", we get
\n" ); document.write( "3 = a + k and 12 = 4a + k.
\n" ); document.write( "From this we get a = 3.
\n" ); document.write( "Finally putting h = 0 and a = 3 into \"3+=+a%281-h%29%5E2+%2B+k\", we get k = 0.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
