The vertex of this parabola is at (-3, -1). When the y-value is 0, the x-value is 4. What is the coefficient of the squared term in the parabola's equation?
hello : the parabola's equation is : f(x) = a(x+3)²-1 the coefficient of the squared expression in the parabola's equation is : a but ; f(4) = 0 0 = a(4+3)²-1 49a-1=0.....a=1/49 f(x) = 1/49(x-3)²-2
