f(x) = x(x+9)
Or y = x(x+9)
is a parabola of 2nd degree.
y =
x^2+9x
y = (x+9/2)^2-
(9/2)^2
y+81/4 =
(x+4.5)^2
y+20.25 =
(x+4.5)^2.
The standard form of this type of formula
is:
4a(y - k) = (x-h)^2 with its vertex (x,y) at (h , k)
and focus a units above (h,k) Or focus at (h , k+a).
So
the give parabola has its vertex at (-4.5 , -20.25) and focus at (-4.5 , -20.25+1/4) =
(-4.5 , -20.00)
