Question 1055811: y= (x-4)2(2=to the second power)-1. I have to graph the parabola and four additional points, two on each side of the vertex. I have the vertex (4,1) but not sure how to get additional 4 points to graph them.

Hi
Need to know:
The vertex form of a Parabola opening up(a>0) or down(a<0),
y=a%28x-h%29%5E2+%2Bk where(h,k) is the vertex
y=1%28x-4%29%5E2+-1+
V(4, -1)
As to additional Point: Plug x in to find y
x y
3 0
2 3
5 0
6 3
