1.1.2.1
We are given that . This means the point lies on the graph of .Substitute the point into the equation for .
Simplify the expression to find .
1.1.2.2 and
The function is a parabola. The problem states that one of the asymptotes of is an axis of symmetry for .Identify the axis of symmetry for and relate it to the asymptotes of .
The axis of symmetry for is the vertical line .
The asymptotes of are and .
Since the axis of symmetry for a parabola is a vertical line, it must be .
Therefore, .Determine the value of using the graph.
The vertex of the parabola is at .
With , the vertex is at .
From the sketch, the parabola touches the x-axis at , which means its vertex is at .
Therefore, .
