𝑓𝑓(𝑥𝑥): − represents the 𝑦𝑦 − value
𝑎𝑎: − indicates if the function is positive or negative

𝑥𝑥 2 : − represents the 2 𝑥𝑥 − 𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖

𝑞𝑞: − represents the 𝑦𝑦 − 𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖
− indicates whether the function will move up or down
− indicates the turning point of the function
− indicates whether the function has maximum or minimum value

Given: The turning point and a coordinate.

(4; −12)

(0; −16)

Step 1: Substitute the turning point (0; −16)

𝑦𝑦 = 𝑎𝑎𝑥𝑥 2 + 𝑞𝑞

𝑦𝑦 = 𝑎𝑎𝑥𝑥 2 − 16

Step 2: Substitute the given coordinates (4; −12)

𝑦𝑦 = 𝑎𝑎𝑥𝑥 2 − 16
−12 = 𝑎𝑎(4)2 − 16

−12 = 16𝑎𝑎 − 16
−12 + 16 = 16𝑎𝑎
