Since the vertex of the graph is at (3, -1), we can substitute these values into the equation to find the value of a.
y = a(x - 3)^2 - 1
-1 = a(3 - 3)^2 - 1
-1 = 0 - 1
-1 = -1
Therefore, the value of a is 1.
a = 1
y = a(x - 3)^2 - 1
-1 = a(3 - 3)^2 - 1
-1 = 0 - 1
-1 = -1
Therefore, the value of a is 1.
a = 1
