On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens up in quadrant 1. It goes through (2, 12), has a vertex at (5, 3), and goes through (8, 12). Write the equation of the function whose graph is shown. y = (x + )2 +.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You have a vertex coordinate and 2 points. In order to write the equation for that parabola, you only need the vertex and one point. We will fill in the following work form of the parabola:
[tex]y=a(x-h)^2+k[/tex] , where h and k are from the vertex and x and y are from the point. Filling in:
[tex]12=a(8-5)^2+3[/tex] and
[tex]12=a(3)^2+3[/tex] and
[tex]12=9a+3[/tex] and
9 = 9a s0
a = 1.
Now we can write the equation, filling in a, the only unknown we had, which we now know is 1:
[tex]y=1(x-5)^2+3[/tex]
