Solution by Steps
step 1
Identify the vertex form of a parabola. The vertex form of a parabola is given by y=a(xh)2+ky = a(x - h)^2 + k, where (h,k)(h, k) is the vertex
step 2
Given the vertex (1,2)(1, -2), we substitute h=1h = 1 and k=2k = -2 into the vertex form: y=a(x1)22y = a(x - 1)^2 - 2
step 3
Use the y-intercept (0,0)(0, 0) to find aa. Substitute x=0x = 0 and y=0y = 0 into the equation: 0=a(01)220 = a(0 - 1)^2 - 2
step 4
Solve for aa: 0=a(1)2    a=20 = a(1) - 2 \implies a = 2
step 5
Substitute a=2a = 2 back into the vertex form: y=2(x1)22y = 2(x - 1)^2 - 2
step 6
Verify the x-intercepts (2,0)(-2, 0) and (3,0)(3, 0) by solving 0=2(x1)220 = 2(x - 1)^2 - 2
step 7
Solve 0=2(x1)220 = 2(x - 1)^2 - 2: 2(x1)2=2    (x1)2=1    x1=±1    x=2±1    x=2 or x=32(x - 1)^2 = 2 \implies (x - 1)^2 = 1 \implies x - 1 = \pm 1 \implies x = 2 \pm 1 \implies x = -2 \text{ or } x = 3
step 8
Confirm the function value f(4)=6f(4) = 6 by substituting x=4x = 4 into the equation: f(4)=2(41)22=2(3)22=2(9)2=182=16f(4) = 2(4 - 1)^2 - 2 = 2(3)^2 - 2 = 2(9) - 2 = 18 - 2 = 16
Answer
The equation of the parabola in translation form is y=2(x1)22y = 2(x - 1)^2 - 2.
