Q. A parabola opening up or down has vertex (0,6)(0,-6) and passes through (12,12)(12,12). Write its equation in vertex form.\newlineSimplify any fractions.
  1. Identify Vertex Values: We have:\newlineVertex: (0,6)(0,-6)\newlineIdentify the values of hh and kk.\newlineVertex is (0,6)(0,-6).\newlineh=0h = 0\newlinek=6k = -6
  2. Select Equation: We have:\newliney=a(xh)2+ky = a(x - h)^2 + k\newlineh=0h = 0 and k=6k = -6\newlineSelect the equation after substituting the values of hh and kk.\newlineSubstitute h=0h = 0 and k=6k = -6 in y=a(xh)2+ky = a(x - h)^2 + k.\newliney=a(x0)26y = a(x - 0)^2 - 6\newliney=ax26y = ax^2 - 6
  3. Find Value of a: We have: y=ax26y = ax^2 - 6
    Point: (12,12)(12,12)
    Find the value of a.
    y=ax26y = ax^2 - 6
    12=a(12)2612 = a(12)^2 - 6
    12+6=a×14412 + 6 = a \times 144
    18=144a18 = 144a
    18144=a\frac{18}{144} = a
    a=18a = \frac{1}{8}
  4. Write Vertex Form: We found:\newlinea=18a = \frac{1}{8}\newlineh=0h = 0\newlinek=6k = -6\newlineWrite the equation of a parabola in vertex form.\newliney=a(xh)2+ky = a(x - h)^2 + k\newliney=18(x0)26y = \frac{1}{8}(x - 0)^2 - 6\newlineVertex form: y=18x26y = \frac{1}{8}x^2 - 6
