Q. A parabola opening up or down has vertex (0,7)(0,7) and passes through (4,5)(4,5). Write its equation in vertex form.\newlineSimplify any fractions.
  1. Vertex Form of Parabola: What is the vertex form of the parabola?\newlineThe vertex form of a parabola is given by the equation y=a(xh)2+ky = a(x - h)^2 + k, where (h,k)(h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.
  2. Equation with Vertex: What is the equation of a parabola with a vertex at (0,7)(0, 7)?\newlineSubstitute 00 for hh and 77 for kk in the vertex form.\newliney=a(x0)2+7y = a(x - 0)^2 + 7\newliney=ax2+7y = ax^2 + 7
  3. Use Point to Find 'a': Use the point (4,5)(4, 5) to find the value of 'a'.\newlineReplace the variables with (4,5)(4, 5) in the equation.\newlineSubstitute 44 for xx and 55 for yy.\newline5=a(4)2+75 = a(4)^2 + 7\newline5=16a+75 = 16a + 7
  4. Solve for 'a': Solve for 'a'.\newline5=16a+75 = 16a + 7\newlineSubtract 77 from both sides.\newline57=16a5 - 7 = 16a\newline2=16a-2 = 16a\newlineDivide both sides by 1616.\newline216=a-\frac{2}{16} = a\newline18=a-\frac{1}{8} = a
  5. Write Equation with 'a': Write the equation of the parabola with the found value of 'a'.\newlineSubstitute 18-\frac{1}{8} for aa in the equation y=ax2+7y = ax^2 + 7.\newliney=(18)x2+7y = \left(-\frac{1}{8}\right)x^2 + 7\newlineVertex form of the parabola: y=(18)x2+7y = -\left(\frac{1}{8}\right)x^2 + 7
