Writing the Equation of a Parabola
All points are at integer coefficients.
Enter the equation of the parabola in the inputbox. Use exact values (fractions). Rounded decimals will be incorrect.
Enter equations in the form similar to y = (1/3) (x-3)(x+2) or y = (-1/2) (x-5)^2 + 8.
Press 'Enter' when equation is complete in the inputbox. A 'Check Answer' button will appear.
