#a little graphing problem

lean socket
i've heard that the ans is 3 itself, but why?
completing the square?
never heard of the following equation
:p
signal swift
Hmmmmm
Oh lmao nvm I'm dumb
It is 3
Just plug in x=0
for some reason I saw the y intercept and thought "this is the maximum of the quadratic" 
lean socket
so if i ever were to find c you would just need to plug in the coordination of the y intercept?
x value ofc
signal swift
yeah
lean socket
which is always 0
alright got it, thanks!
wait, another question
what is the following equation of this graph tho
signal swift
Oh nvm
Ic
well the roots are 2 and 6
So the point of symmetry is 4
So so far that's a(x-4)^2 + k
which expands as a(x^2 - 8x + 16 + k)
16 + k = 3/a cus we knkw constant term is 3
a(x^2 - 8x + 3/a)
we also know from the roots the quadratic is a(x - 2)(x - 6)
lean socket
what does a significies here
lean socket
oo
signal swift
So yeah equation is 1/4x^2 - 2x + 3
didn't really need to use the stuff about symmetry here
lean socket
seems something out of my league but hey thanks
ima do more research into that formula we touched into earlier
