Answer

\[ 3 x^{2}-2 x+7=Y \]

Work Step by Step

The derivative is the slope of the tangent line to $y$ at $x$ \[ a x^{2}+b x+c=y \] \[ \begin{array}{l} 2 a x+b=y^{\prime} \\ 2 a(1)+b=4\quad \text { slope } 4 \text { at } 1=x \end{array} \] $2 a(-1)+b=-8 \quad$ slope -8 at $-1=x$ Solve the system \[ \begin{aligned} &2 a+b=4 \\ &=-2 a+b=-8 \end{aligned} \] Add [2] to [1] \[ 2 a-2 a+b+b=4-8 \] \[ \begin{array}{r} 2 b=-4 \\ -2=b \end{array} \] Use either equation to find $a$ \[ (-2)+2 a=4 \] \[ \begin{array}{l} 2 a=6 \\ 3=a \end{array} \] The parabola passes through (2,15) \[ \begin{array}{l} a(2)^{2}+b(2)+c=15 \\ 4 a+2 b+c=15 \end{array} \] Plug in the $a$ , $b$ we found \[ \begin{aligned} 4(3)+2(-2)+c =15\\ 8+c=15 \\ 7=c \end{aligned} \] The parabola is \[ 3 x^{2}-2 x+7=y \]
