The curve above represents a parabola, it has an x-intercept of -1 and y-intercept of 2. Find the area of the square.
If it is a square centered on the origin.... then |x| = |y|. At the corner that intercepts the parabola.....compute the formula of the parabola first.....then......
The graph touches the x-axis at only 1 point. This means the equation of the graph must be a product of a perfect square and a real constant, in this case:
y=k(x+1)2
When x = 0, y = 2.
2=k⋅12k=2
Therefore, the equation of the parabola is y=2(x+1)2.
If it is a square with one of the vertices being the origin, then two of the vertices lies on |y| = |x|, in this case, two of the vertices lies on y = -x.
We solve the system of simultaneous equations
{y=2(x+1)2y=−x
I will leave the rest for you.
