The distance from the image vertex of quadratic function y = ax ^ 2 + K to the X axis is 3, and the shape is the same as that of parabola y = x ^ 2

The distance from the image vertex of quadratic function y = ax ^ 2 + K to the X axis is 3, and the shape is the same as that of parabola y = x ^ 2


The quadratic coefficient a determines the shape of the parabola, that is, the size of the opening
Because the shape is the same as the parabola y = x ^ 2, so y = x ^ 2 + K
The symmetric axis of parabola is x = 0, and y = k is obtained by substituting it into the function
So the vertex is (0, K)
The distance from the vertex to the x-axis is | K | = 3, k = ± 3
So the analytic formula is y = x ^ 2 + 3 or y = x ^ 2-3



When the parabola y = a (X-H) square + K passes through the point (- 1, - 4) and x = 1, the maximum value of Y is - 2, find the function


a(-1-h)^2+k=-4(1)
X = 1, y get the maximum value - 2
h=1 K=-2
Bring in (1)
4a-2=-4
4a=-2
a=-1/2
y=(-1/2)(x-1)^2-2
