Using vertex form,
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=a%28x-3%29%5E2-25\"
\n" ); document.write( "Now use the point,
\n" ); document.write( "\"-17=a%285-3%29%5E2-25\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"8=a%282%29%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"a=2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28f%28x%29=2%28x-3%29%5E2-25%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
