Algebra-1

To find the equation of the parabola, let’s evaluate each option step by step.

1.Characteristics of the Parabola

Direction: Opens downward (the coefficient of should be negative).

Vertex: The vertex (maximum point) is at (-3, -1).

 

2.Using the Vertex Formula:

The vertex of a parabola represented by the standard form can be found using:

For our vertex (-3, -1), we know h = -3.

 

3.Evaluating Each Option

A.

Vertex ( x ):

 

B.

Vertex ( x ):

 

C.
