Find the equation of a qudratic function whose graph satisfied the given conditions.
Vertex:(-4,12) y intercept:4
Solution
Quadratic equation in vertex for is given by
y= a(x-h)^2 +k
now given vertex (-4,12) i.e. h= -4 and k= 12, hence we have
y= a(x+4)^2 + 12
now y intercept is the point where x =0 hence
4= a(0+4)^2 +12
=> 4- 12 = 16a
=> -8 = 16a
=> a = -8/16 = -1/2
Therefore equation is
y= (-1/2) (x+4)^2 +12
=> (-1/2) (x^2 +8x+16) +12
=> y= (-1/2)x^2 - 4x +4
