Q. A parabola opening up or down has vertex (0,5)(0,-5) and passes through (8,11)(8,11). Write its equation in vertex form.\newlineSimplify any fractions.
  1. Identify Vertex: Identify the vertex of the parabola.\newlineThe given vertex is (0,5)(0,-5), which means h=0h = 0 and k=5k = -5.\newlineThe vertex form of a parabola is y=a(xh)2+ky = a(x - h)^2 + k.\newlineSubstitute h=0h = 0 and k=5k = -5 into the vertex form equation.\newliney=a(x0)25y = a(x - 0)^2 - 5\newliney=ax25y = ax^2 - 5
  2. Substitute Values: Use the point (8,11)(8,11) to find the value of a'a'. Substitute x=8x = 8 and y=11y = 11 into the equation y=ax25y = ax^2 - 5. 11=a(8)2511 = a(8)^2 - 5 11=64a511 = 64a - 5 Add 55 to both sides to isolate the term with a'a'. 11+5=64a11 + 5 = 64a a'a'00 Divide both sides by a'a'11 to solve for a'a'. a'a'33 Simplify the fraction. a'a'44
  3. Find Value of 'a': Write the final equation of the parabola in vertex form.\newlineNow that we have a=14a = \frac{1}{4}, h=0h = 0, and k=5k = -5, substitute these values into the vertex form equation.\newliney=a(xh)2+ky = a(x - h)^2 + k\newliney=(14)(x0)25y = \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)(x - 0)^2 - 5\newlineSimplify the equation.\newliney=(14)x25y = \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)x^2 - 5
