WRITING THE EQUATION USING THE GRAPH
 Given:
 Vertex (-2.5, -2.25)
 Point (-1,0)
 h = -2.5
 k = -2.25
 x = -1
 y/f(x) = 0
 Finding a:
 f(x) = a(x – h)2 + k
 0 = a(-1 + 2.5)2 - 2.25
 0 = 2.25a -2.25
 2.25a = 2.25
 a=1

 f(x) = (x + 2.5)2 - 2.25

 Given:
 Vertex (-2, -9)
 Point (-1,-8)
 h = -2
 k = -9
 x = -1
 y/f(x) = -8
 Finding a:
 f(x) = a(x – h)2 + k
 -8 = a(-1 + 2)2 - 9
 -8 = a - 9
 a=9-8
 a=1

 f(x) = (x + 2)2 - 9
 Given:
 Vertex (-3, 1)
 Point (-5,-3)
 h = -3
 k=1
 x = -5
 y/f(x) = -3
 Finding a:
 f(x) = a(x – h)2 + k
 -3 = a(-5 + 3)2 + 1
 -3 = 4a + 1
 4a = -1 – 3 = -4
