The vertex of this parabola is at 32 When the value is 4 the yvalue is 3 What is the coefficient of the squared expression in the parabolas equation A 7 B 1 C 1 class=

Respuesta :

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k ) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

here (h, k ) = (3, - 2 ) , then

y = a(x - 3)² - 2

to find a substitute the point (4, 3 ) into the equation

3 = a(4 - 3)² - 2 ( add 2 to both sides )

5 = a × 1² = a

the coefficient of the squared expression is 5
