2-146.

A parabola has vertex and contains the point .

  1. If this parabola is a function, find its equation.

    Recall the standard form for the equation of a parabola:
    Substitute the appropriate values for the vertex , and and , then solve for .

    Refer to problem 2-127 in Lesson 2.2.3 if you need more help.

  2. Suppose this parabola is not a function, but is a “sleeping” parabola. Find its equation.

    Use the equation where the vertex is at .
