Math Problem Statement

write the standard form of the quadratic equation vertex (2,3) and point (0,2)

Solution

To write the quadratic equation in standard form, y=ax2+bx+cy = ax^2 + bx + c, we can start by using the vertex form of a quadratic equation, which is:

y=a(xh)2+ky = a(x - h)^2 + k

where (h,k)(h, k) is the vertex. In this case, the vertex is (2,3)(2, 3), so we substitute h=2h = 2 and k=3k = 3:

y=a(x2)2+3y = a(x - 2)^2 + 3

Next, we use the given point (0,2)(0, 2) to find the value of aa. Substituting x=0x = 0 and y=2y = 2 into the equation:

2=a(02)2+32 = a(0 - 2)^2 + 3

2=a(4)+32 = a(4) + 3

23=4a2 - 3 = 4a

1=4a-1 = 4a

a=14a = -\frac{1}{4}

Now that we have a=14a = -\frac{1}{4}, we substitute this back into the vertex form:

y=14(x2)2+3y = -\frac{1}{4}(x - 2)^2 + 3

To convert this to standard form, we expand the equation:

y=14(x24x+4)+3y = -\frac{1}{4}(x^2 - 4x + 4) + 3

y=14x2+14(4x)14(4)+3y = -\frac{1}{4}x^2 + \frac{1}{4}(4x) - \frac{1}{4}(4) + 3

y=14x2+x1+3y = -\frac{1}{4}x^2 + x - 1 + 3

y=14x2+x+2y = -\frac{1}{4}x^2 + x + 2

So, the standard form of the quadratic equation is:

y=14x2+x+2y = -\frac{1}{4}x^2 + x + 2
