You can find completed square form from turning point

#

Kinda

sullen relic
#

a(x-5)^2-3

flat hazel
#

Then use the other point to find the coefficient of x^2

#

Yes

flat hazel
#

a will be the coefficient of x^2

sullen relic
#

how do I use the other point to find a

flat hazel
#

So y = a(x-5)^2 - 3

#

We know y = 0 when x=4

#

So sub those in

#

Find a

sullen relic
#

ohh ok

#

a = 3

flat hazel
#

Yea

sullen relic
#

how do i find the full equation reverse completing the square?

flat hazel
#

You just did it

sullen relic
#

i need it in terms of ax^2 + bx + c

flat hazel
#

Expand it

sullen relic
#

oh wait i can just expand 3(x-5)^2-3 right?

#

yh thx
