From the graph the vertex of the parabola is at ,
The parabola of the vertex is ,
, and
.
The point on the graph of the parabola ,
and
.
(Apply vertex form of the parabola equation: )
Now we can find a value.
(Substitute 0 for h, 5 for k, 3 for x and 8 for y)
\(Subtract 5 from each side)
\(Divide each side by 9)
\(Substitute for a, 0 for h, and 5 for k)
The vertex form of the parabola equation is .
