The graph of a quadratic function passes through the points (-1,0), (-2,0), and (0,2). write the quadratic function in general form.

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

we have the points

(-1,0), (-2,0), and (0,2)

Plot the points

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure

The graph of a quadratic function must be a vertical parabola open upward

The vertex is a minimum

The quadratic function in general form is equal to

Substitute the value of x and the value of y of each given ordered pair in the general equation and solve for a,b and c

(0,2)

For x=0, y=2

substitute

(-1,0)

For x=-1, y=0

substitute

----> ----> equation A

(-2,0)

For x=-2, y=0

substitute

----> equation B

we have the system

----> equation A

----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

solve for b

Find the value of a

therefore

The quadratic function in general form is equal to
