Suppose a parabola has an axis of symmetry at x=8, a maximum height of 1 and also passes through the point (9, -1). Write the equation of the parabola in vertex form.
Added by Alfonso P.
Step 1
Since the axis of symmetry is at x=8, we know that the vertex of the parabola is at (8, k), where k is the y-coordinate of the vertex. Show more…
