Observe the graph:
\The coordinate points are and
.
The standard form of quadratic function , where
.
To find the quadratic function represented by the graph, we need to find the values of and
.
The –intercept of the graph is the value of
.
The graph intersects –axis at
.
Value of is
.
The equation of the axis symmetry is .
Equate the –coordinate of the vertex to
.
The –coordinate of the vertex is
.
So, .
(Multiply each side by
)
(Cancel common terms)
Substitute the coordinates of the vertex in the equation to find .
(Substitute
)
(Evaluate powers:
)
