I is a parabola with (1,-18) as its vertex and opening upwards touches (4,0) which is one of the roots , a straight line y=-x+11 pass through the parabola at P and Q , find the coordinates of P and Q.
Parabola:y=a(x−xv)2+yvxv=1yv=−18a?x=4y=00=a(4−1)2−18a=1832=189=2Parabola:y=2(x−1)2−18line:y=−x+11
The cut:
