vertex form of the equation for a parabola

y = a(x-h)^2 +k

y = a(x--3)^2 +2

y=a(x+3)^2 +2

Choice B

Answer:

The equation that represents the equation of the parabola is:

               [tex]y=4(x+3)^2+2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the general equation of the parabola with vertex at (h,k) is represented with the help of the equation:

[tex]y=a(x-h)^2+k[/tex]

where a is a constant and if a>0 then the parabola is open upward.

and if a<0 then the parabola is open downward.

Here we have the vertex of the parabola at (-3,2)

and a=4 in each of the options.

i.e. we have: h=-3 and k=2

Hence, the equation of the parabola is:

[tex]y=4(x-(-3))^2+2\\\\i.e.\\\\y=4(x+3)^2+2[/tex]

              The correct option is:

                    Option: B
