ANYONE GOOD AT MATH?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME :(

Answer 1

The parent function is
`f(x)=a(x-h)^(2) +k`

That Parabola's equation is
`f(x)=x^(2)`

Explanation:

I can't really explain much, but the top equation is a formula for all equations for a parabola. h and k are the x and y-values of the vertex. a is, well, a.

How did I find the equation of the parabola? Simple. Since the vertex is on the origin, h and k are 0. Also, because it intercepts (2,4) and (1,1), a=1.
