Answer:
y = (x-.5)^2 -12.25
Explanation:
first, find the vertex
x from (x,y) = -b/2a
ax^2-bx - c
1x^2-1x -12
-1/2(-1) = -1/-2 - 1/2
(1/2,y) then use x value to find y value
y = 1/2^2 - 1/2 - 12
y = .25 -.5 - 12 = -12.25
(.5,-12.25) input values into this formula:
y = a(x-h)^2 + k where h = x-value and k = y-value. use same a value = 1
y = (x-.5)^2 -12.25
