Use the vertex
(h, k)
and a point on the graph
(x, y)
to find the general form of the equation of the quadratic function.
(h, k) = (−4, −1), (x, y) = (−7, 8)


Sagot :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the quadratic function be

y=a(x+4)²-1

∵(-7,8) lies on it.

8=a(-7+4)²-1

8+1=a(-3)²

9a=9

a=9/9=1

so quadratic function  is

f(x)=1(x+4)²-1

or

f(x)=x²+8x+16-1

so quadratic function is

f(x)=x²+8x+15
