Find the Equation of the Parabola
What is the equation of the blue parabola?
-- Type your equation in factored form, then press enter. The graph of your equation will be orange.
-- If your equation is correct, the orange graph will overlap with the blue graph.
-- Not overlapping? Check out the hints below, and try again.
HINTS:
-- Look at the x-intercepts of the blue parabola. Remember that a quadratic of the form (x - a)(x - b) has x-intercepts (a, 0) and (b, 0).
-- If a parabola is facing downward, then its equation is of the form -(x - a)(x - b).
