a.)h(5)
b.) h(6)
c.) h(8)
d.) h)9)
 ------- Vertex form
 ------ Substituting 0 for y, 2 for x, 4 for h, and 7 for k
- 7 = 4a_______ = a
Function: 
Now, you can substitute each answer choice into the above function to see which one gives a value of 0, or you can easily look at the equation
and determine WHAT VALUE x can be replaced with, and when combined with - 4, and the result is squared, results in a value of 4. That MUST be 6.
Therefore, it must be
