Question

Can anyone help me create the equation of the given parabola .​ is it x^2-x-3?

Answer 1

The function of this parabola is is equal to
`f(x) = (x-1)^(2) - 4`

Explanation:

If we look at this picture we cans see that the most bottom point of this parabola is located 4 units below and 1 unit tot he right of the origin point. From here we know tha tthe function will lokk something like this....

`f(x) = (x^-1)^(2) + bx - 4`

But in our case b is equal to zero and so we get that the following parabola is represented by the following function....

`f(x) = (x-1)^(2) - 4\\`

(If you don't believe me you can check this function on a graphing site called Desmos)
