Firts, we'll determine the coordinates of the vertex of
the parabola.
V(-b/2a ;
-delta/4a)
deta = b^2 -
4ac
a,b,c, are the coefficients of the
quadratic.
a = 1 , b = -2(m-1) , c =
m-1
xV = 2(m-1)/2
xV = 2m -
2
delta = 4(m-1)^2 -
4(m-1)
delta =
4(m-1)(m-1-1)
delta =
4(m-1)(m-2)
yV =
-4(m-1)(m-2)/4
yV =
-(m-1)(m-2)
The coordinates of the vertex are: V(2m - 2
; -(m-1)(m-2)).
We'll impose the constraint of enumciation
that the vertex has to be located on the bisectrix of the first
quadrant.
yV = xV
2m - 2 =
-(m-1)(m-2)
2(m-1) =
-(m-1)(m-2)
We'll add
(m-1)(m-2):
2(m-1) + (m-1)(m-2) =
0
We'll factorize by
(m-1):
(m-1)(2 +m - 2) =
0
m(m-1) = 0
m1 =
0
m-1 = 0
m2 =
1
The values of m for the vertex of the
parabola to be on the bisector of the 1st quadrant are: {0 ;
1}.
