Working with our Magma throwing Volcanos we are given the coordinates:
(2,0) and (8,0) with a Vertex of (5,3)
Our Intercept form is:
y = -1/3 (x-2)(x-8)
Our Vertex form is:
y = -1/3 (x-5)^2 + 3
Checking our work back to Standard is:
y = -1/3 (x-5)^2 + 3
y = -1/3 (x-5)(x-5) + 3
y = -1/3 (x^2 -5x -5x +25) + 3 – FOIL
y = -1/3 (x^2 -10x +25) + 3
y = -1/3x^2 + 10/3 -25/3 + 9/3
y = -1/3x^2 + 10/3 - 16/3
