A parabola has an x-intercept of -1, a y-intercept of -3, and a minimum of -4 at x = 1.
Which graph matches this description?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The graph in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a vertical parabola in vertex form is equal to

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

where

a is a coefficient

(h,k) is the vertex

In this problem we have

(h,k)=(1,-4)

substitute

[tex]y=a(x-1)^{2}-4[/tex]

we have

An x-intercept of (-1,0)

substitute and solve for a

[tex]0=a(-1-1)^{2}-4[/tex]

[tex]0=4a-4[/tex]

[tex]4a=4[/tex]

[tex]a=1[/tex]

The equation is

[tex]y=(x-1)^{2}-4[/tex]

Verify the y-intercept

For x=0

[tex]y=(0-1)^{2}-4[/tex]

[tex]y=-3[/tex]

The y-intercept is the point (0,-3) -----> is correct
