Find the equation of parabola that passes through points (1,2) ,(3,4) and tangents to the line y=−x+((25)/3)
$$\mathrm{Find}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{equation}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{parabola}\:\mathrm{that} \\ $$$$\mathrm{passes}\:\mathrm{through}\:\mathrm{points}\:\left(\mathrm{1},\mathrm{2}\right)\:,\left(\mathrm{3},\mathrm{4}\right)\: \\ $$$$\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{tangents}\:\mathrm{to}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{line}\:\mathrm{y}=−\mathrm{x}+\frac{\mathrm{25}}{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$

let the equation of parabola is y=ax^2 +bx+c →passes throught points { (((1,2)→2=a+b+c ...(i))),(((3,4)→4=9a+3b+c ...(ii))) :} substract eq (i) by (ii) ⇒2 = 8a+2b ; 1 = 4a+b ; b=1−4a since parabola tangent to the line y = −x+((25)/3), we get ax^2 +(1−4a)x+c=−x+((25)/3) ax^2 +(2−4a)x+c−((25)/3)= 0. Taking Δ = 4(1−2a)^2 −4a(c−((25)/3))=0 ⇒(1−2a)^2 = a(c−((25)/3)) ⇒ c = ((25)/3)+(((1−2a)^2 )/a); inserting to (i) ⇒2 = a+1−4a+((25)/3)+(((1−2a)^2 )/a) ⇒1 = ((25)/3)−3a+((1−4a+4a^2 )/a) ⇒−22=−9a+((3−12a+12a^2 )/a) ⇒−22a=−9a^2 +12a^2 −12a+3 ⇒3a^2 +10a+3 = 0 ⇒(3a+1)(a+3) = 0 for a=−(1/3)→ { ((b=1+(4/3)=(7/3))),((c=((25)/3)−3(1+(2/3))^2 = 0)) :} we get the equation of parabola is y= −(1/3)x^2 +(7/3)x for a=−3→ { ((b=13)),((c=((25)/3)−((49)/3)=−8)) :} we get the equation of parabola is y = −3x^2 +13x−8

generally there are infinitely many parabolas which fulfill the given conditions. there are two parabolas with axis in y direction. that′s what you got. there are two parabolas with axis in x direction. there are many other parabolas with skew axis.

Dente the equation of the parabol we need find by (P): y=ax^2 +bx+c.Since the P pass through A(1,2)and B(3,4) we have: { ((a+b+c=2(1))),((9a+3b+c=4(2))) :} Substract (1)from(2)we get 8a+2b=2⇒b=1−4a,replace into (1) we get a+1−4a+c=2⇒c=3a+1 ⇒(P):y=ax^2 +(1−4a)x+3a+1 Since P touches to y=−x+((25)/3), infer : ax^2 +(1−4a)x+3a+1=−x+25/3 ⇔3ax^2 +2(3−6a)x+9a−22=0 has unique root⇔Δ′=(3−6a)^2 −3a(9a−22) =0⇔9a^2 +30a+9=0⇔(3a+5)^2 =16 ⇔3a+5=±4⇔a∈{−3,−1/3) we obtain two parabol are: i)y=−3x^2 +13x−8 ii)y=−(1/3)x^2 +(7/3)x

we can also let the parabola be x=ay^2 +by+c but generally the parabola is (ax+by)^2 +cx+dy+e=0

Yes,then we obtain more two parabol which symetry to two above paraboles through line y=x
