Chapter 4 Section 4-10 Writing Equations: 1. Vertex Point plus another Point 2. Quadratic Regression
Objectives • I can write the equation of a quadratic function given the vertex and another point • I can find the equation to any quadratic function given at least 3 points
Vertex Format • Recall that vertex format for any quadratic equation is given by: • y = a (x – h)2 + k • Where (h, k) is the vertex point
Finding the Equation • If we know the vertex of a parabola, then we know h and k • Then if we know any other point, we know an x and y value, so we can solve for “a” in the equation
Example 1 • Find the equation of the parabola with vertex (3, -4) and goes through point (0, 1) • y = a(x – h)2 + k • There are 5 variables here: a, h, k, x, y • We know 4 of the 5, so we can solve for “a”
Example 3 • Write the equation in Standard Vertex Format for the parabola that passes thru point (2, 1) and has a vertex point (-2, -3) • y = a(x – h)2 + k • 1 = a(2 - -2)2 + -3 • 1 = a(4)2 – 3 • 1 = 16a – 3 • 4 = 16a • a = 1/4
Example 4 • Write the equation in Standard Vertex Format for the parabola that passes thru point (-3, -5) and has a vertex point (4, 1) • y = a(x – h)2 + k • -5 = a(-3 - 4)2 + 1 • -5 = a(-7)2 + 1 • -5 = 49a + 1 • -6 = 49a • a = -6/49
Quadratic Regression • If we know 3 points on a parabola, then we can use quadratic regression and find the equation using the calculator • Given we know the following 3 ordered pairs that are on the parabola • (1, 2), (4, 3), and (7, 6) • Write the equation : y = ax2 + bx + c

Possible Errors • Enter wrong number into L1 or L2 • Forget a negative sign • Forget to clear L1 or L2 • Use a list other than L1 and L2
Example 1 • Find the equation of the parabola that passes through the following points • (-1, -1), (1, 11), (3, 7) • STAT • EDIT • Enter the L1 data {-1, 1, 3} • Enter L2 data {-1, 11, 7} • Now STAT to Calc #5 Quad Reg then ENTER • y = -2x2 + 6x + 7
