The graph of y=ax^2+bx+c is given below, where a, b, and c are integers. Find a-b+c.
The vertex is at (-1, -2)
We have the form
y = a ( x - - 1)^2 - 2
y = a ( x + 1)^2 - 2
And the point 0,-1) is on the graph...so we can find a
-1 = a ( 0 + 1)^2 - 2
-1 + 2 = a
1 = a
So we havr
y = 1 ( x + 1)^2 - 2
y = x^2 + 2x + 1 - 2
y = x^2 + 2x - 1
a = 1 b = 2 c = -1
a + b + c = 1 + 2 - 1 = 2
