To
find the equation of a parabola through the vertices of the group of parabolas,
,
we choose 3 values for b and find the vertex for each parabola.
So,
if
,
the vertex will be 
And
if
,
the vertex will be ![]()
And
if
,
the vertex will be 
Substituting
these points into
, we get the system of equations below.
These
equations simplify to, 
When
we solve the system, we find that a = -1, b = 0, and c = 1.
So,
the equation of the desired parabola is, ![]()
