Which of the following equations describes the graph?





1/2x^2 - 2x +1
Step-by-step explanation:
it cannot be negative x as the parabola has a minimum value, the coordinates of turning point is (-1,2)
as it is -1 there has to be a negative sign in equation
so the right one is 2nd one
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
the graph is clearly that of a parabola that opens up and has its vertex at (2, -1). The coefficient of x^2 must be + because the parabola opens up.
Using the point-slope formula y - k = a(x - h)^2, and letting 2 replace h and -1 replace k, we get:
y + 1 = a(x - 2)^2 or y = a(x - 2)^2 - 1
