Answer to Problem 25HP

The equation of parabola is y=−3x2+4x−6.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The three points that lie on parabola are (2,−10),(−5,−101),(6,−90).

Calculation:

Consider the three points that lie on parabola are (2,−10),(−5,−101),(6,−90) . The standard form of equation of parabola is y=ax2+bx+c.

Form the system of equations with help of three points.

  a(2)2+b(2)+c=−10a(−5)2+b(−5)+c=−101a(6)2+b(6)+c=−90

Simplify it,

  4a+2b+c=−1025a−5b+c=−10136a+6b+c=−90

Take the first and the second equation,

  4a+2b+c=−1025a−5b+c=−101

Use the method of elimination to solve the system above.

Subtract both the equations,

  4a+2b+c=−1025a−5b+c=−101−−21a+7b=91

Simplify it further as,

  −21a+7b=91−3a+b=13

Take the first and the third equation,

  4a+2b+c=−1036a+6b+c=−90

Multiply first equation by 2.

Use the method of elimination to solve the system above.

Subtract both the equations,

  32a+4b=−808a+b=−20

Solve the system of equation −3a+b=13 and 8a+b=−20.

Subtract both the equations,

  −11a=33a=−3

Substitute a=−3 in the equation −3a+b=13.

  9+b=13b=4

Now substitute a=−3 and b=4 in the equation 4a+2b+c=−10 ,

  −12+8+c=−10c=−10+4c=−6

Now, substitute the values of a, b and c in y=ax2+bx+c.

  y=−3x2+4x−6

Thus, the equation of parabola is y=−3x2+4x−6.
