From the graph the vertex of the parabola is at
,
The parabola of the vertex is
,
, and
.
The point on the graph of the parabola
,
and
.
(Apply vertex form of the parabola equation:
)
Now we can find a value.
(Substitute 0 for h, 5 for k, 3 for x and 8 for y)
\


(Subtract 5 from each side)
\


(Divide each side by 9)
\


(Substitute
for a, 0 for h, and 5 for k)


The vertex form of the parabola equation is
.
