A parabola opening up or down has vertex (-5,0) and passes through (-8,(9)/(8)). Write its equation in vertex form
Added by Scott N.
Step 1
The vertex form of a parabola is given by the equation \( y = a(x - h)^2 + k \), where \((h, k)\) is the vertex of the parabola. In this case, the vertex is \((-5, 0)\), so we have \(h = -5\) and \(k = 0\). Show more…
