Mapping out points
I'm gathering info on points M, N, and K on the parabola y=43x2+10x−7 with x-coordinates 11, 13, and 17, respectively.
Calculating midpoints
I’m determining the midpoints of the triangle MNK by averaging the coordinates of points M, N, and K to identify the new parabola passing through these points.
Determining the polynomial
I’m calculating the y-values of the midpoints of triangle MNK and checking if they satisfy the existing parabola 43x2+10x−7 to identify the new parabola passing through these points.
Ensuring accuracy
I’m calculating yN by summing 43×132+10×13−7. After careful addition, yN equals 7267.
Confirming accuracy
I’m carefully calculating yK by multiplying 43 by 172, adding 10×17, and subtracting 7. The final result is 12590.
Calculating midpoints
I’ve found the midpoints PMN, PNK, and PKM by averaging the coordinates of M, N, and K. These will be used to determine the new parabola's equation.
Solving for coefficients
I’m setting up a system of equations using the midpoints to determine the coefficients a, b, and c that fit the new parabola's equation y=ax2+bx+c.
Isolating coefficients
I’m isolating a by subtracting equations I and III to derive an equation in a and b, leading to a=−86 after simplifying.
Verifying accuracy
I’m checking the arithmetic steps to ensure a=−86 is accurate. This negative value contrasts with the original parabola's positive a, which is intriguing and worth confirming further.
Ensuring accuracy
I’m verifying b=3536 by substituting it into equation IV and confirming it holds true. This involves detailed arithmetic steps to confirm each value's validity.
Verifying consistency
I’ve calculated c=−23700 by substituting a and b into equation I. Now, I’m checking the consistency of this value with this and other equations.
Confirming consistency
I’ve verified the system by substituting a=−86, b=3536, and c=−23700 into equations II and III, ensuring the new parabola's equation remains consistent.
