Well we've done Simultaneous Equations, but I wouldn't know how to do it just from getting the coordinates haha.

I'd say this question may come up in the "Quadratic Polynomial" section.
You just had to know that all parabolas are in the form of: y= ax^2 + bx + c.
Therefore all you need to do is find the values of a b and c. You sub in the x and y values, which should leave 3 different a, b and c equations. (there are 3 coodinate points to sub in).

Then you solve the simultaenous equations. (3 pronumerals, 3 equations).

That's not 2 unit.

This thread is very limited. We need a thread where you can post any topics. Like a year 11 thread lol.

This thread is 3 unit and used to be in the "General Discussion on the Preliminary HSC" section but a moderator moved it here.
