Given
The vertex of the graph of the parabola
Answer to Problem 1RE
Solution:
The vertex of the graph of the parabola
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
The provided equation of the parabola is
Consider the equation,
A general equation of a parabola is of the form
The equation
Therefore, on comparing the above equation to the general equation of parabola
Hence the vertex is
Consider the provided equation of the parabola,
To plot the graph of the parabola, find at least three ordered pairs.
Substitute
Therefore, one solution of the equation is
Substitute
Therefore, second solution of the equation is
Now, substitute
Therefore, third solution of the equation is
Plot them on graph and join them by drawing curve.
The required graph is shown below with vertex
