How would I find the a for the equation y= a(x-h)^2+k. I'm looking at a graph, and I can solve for everything except for a. What is it supposed to be?

If you can see the vertex, fill in those values
e.g. if the vertex is (5,7)
your equation would be
y = a(x-5)^2 + 7

Now see if you can find another point given on your curve, and sub that point in for the x and y, leaving a as the unknown that you can solve for.

If you have a equation how do you transfer that into a table?
without using a graphing calculator?
