Write the equation of a quadratic function that is concave down and has a vertex at the point (4, -2). The parabola is not stretched at all.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(Don't I need another point?? - He didn't give us one)
\n" ); document.write( "
Vertex form of the equation of a parabola: \"y+=+a%28x+-+h%29%5E2+%2B+k\"
\n" ); document.write( "Since the parabola was NOT STRETCHED, and is concave down, then \"a+=+-+1\"
\n" ); document.write( "With vertex being (4, - 2), and a being - 1, \"y+=+a%28x+-+h%29%5E2+%2B+k\" becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+-+1%28x+-+4%29%5E2+-+2\"__________\"highlight_green%28y+=+-+%28x+-+4%29%5E2+-+2%29\" \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
