Find the quadratic equation whose parabola has vertex (3,-2) and y-intercept (0, 16). Give your answer in vertex form.

y = 2*(x - 3)^2 - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that a quadratic equation of vertex (h, k) is written as:

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

Where a is the leading coefficient.

So, if we know that the vertex is at (3, - 2)

we have:

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

And we want the y-intercept to be (0, 16)

This means that, when we take x = 0, we must have y = 16

if we replace these in the above equation we get:

16 = a*(0 - 3)^2 - 2

now we can solve this for a

16 = a*(-3)^2 - 2

16 = a*9 - 2

16 + 2 = a*9

18 = a*9

18/9 = a

2 = a

Then the quadratic equation is:

y = 2*(x - 3)^2 - 2

180

step-by-step explanation:

12-2=10

20-2=18

18x10=180

hi! i think the answer is 1/2 : )
