The parabola $y = ax^2 + bx + c$ is graphed below. Find $a \cdot b \cdot c.$ (The grid lines are one unit apart.)

x coordinate of vertex =  3  =  -b/ (2a)

So....

6a = -b

b = -6a

 

Since (0,7)  is on the  graph, then

c = 7

 

We have 

 

1  = a(3)^2  - 6a(3)  + 7

-6 = 9a - 18a

-6 = -9a

a = 2/3

 

b = -6a  =   -6(2/3)  =  -4

 

a*b*c  = (2/3) (-4) (7)  =  -56 / 3
