Summary
The video explains a step-by-step process of determining the formula of a parabola using its intersections with the x-axis and additional points. By identifying intersections at (2,0) and (4,0), and a third point (6,12), the video illustrates how to calculate the parabola's top and value of 'a' in the equation. Through solving equations and applying symmetry properties, the coefficients and coordinates of the parabola are determined, ultimately leading to the construction of the parabola equation.
