The vertex of the parabola is at (2,-1). When the y-value is 0, the x-value is 5. What is the coefficient of the squared term in the parabola's equation? A. 4. B. -4. C. 3. D. -3

correct answers below:

c

step-by-step explanation:

there is vertical asymptote at x = 2 and x = 0

vertical asymptote occurs at the points where the denominator is 0. so we can say that

x = 2 occurs when there is a factor (x-2) in the denominator, and

x = 0 occurs when there is a factor "x" in the denominator

thus, the denominator of the equation would have "x * (x-2)", this is option c only. that's the correct answer.
