If you could help me please? that would be great, thank you Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Plot the point (0,3)
If you make this the vertex ( turning point ) and
the parabola spills water ( does not look like a cup )
then the curve has to cross the x-axis twice and
that makes the roots real, and equally spaced on
either side of the y-axis.
The equation would look like
