A parabola is determined by the position of its vertex and another point through which the curve passes.
Let the equation of the parabola be of the form y = ax² + bx + c.
Enter the x-coordinate p of the vertex.
Enter the y-coordinate q of the vertex.
Enter the x and y coordinates (t, u) of another point that does not overlap with the vertex.
Since this is a point on the parabola that is distinct from the vertex,
enter values such that p is different from t, and q is different from u.
(No output will be generated for invalid inputs.)

The coefficients a, b, and c will be determined and output.

Note that, for reference purposes,
since a is calculated by division, the numerator and denominator of a will be output.
However, they will be displayed without simplification such as reducing fractions. This is also for reference purposes.
