Quadratic Function: Finding Algebraic Equation for Graph at Point (0,-4)

Question

Find the corresponding algebraic representation of the drawing:

(0,-4)(0,-4)(0,-4)

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, let us first note that the labeled point is (0,4)(0, -4), which suggests the parabola touches or intersects the y-axis at this point. Without more information indicating horizontal translation, it is reasonable to assume this is the vertex of the parabola, pointing down a simple transformation from y=x2y=x^2 to y=x24y=x^2-4.

Given the simplicity and symmetry (likely no xx coefficient subtracted or added), this directly translates to a parabola form with only a vertical shift downward.

Therefore, the algebraic representation of the given parabolic drawing is y=x24 y = x^2 - 4 .

The correct choice corresponding to this is y=x24 y = x^2 - 4 .

Answer

y=x24 y=x^2-4
