According to the vertex and the directrix of the given parabola, the equation is:

y = \frac{3}{4}(x - 1)^2 + 4

<h3>What is the equation of a parabola given it’s vertex?</h3>

The equation of a quadratic function, of vertex (h,k), is given by:

y = a(x - h)^2 + k

In which a is the leading coefficient.

The directrix is at y = k + 4a.

In this problem, the vertex is (1,4), hence:

h = 1, k = 4

The directrix is at y = 7, hence:

4 + 4a = 7

a = \frac{3}{4}

Hence, the equation is:

y = a(x - h)^2 + k

y = \frac{3}{4}(x - 1)^2 + 4

The distance (d) in meters that an ant can travel varies directly with the amount of time (t) in hours it spends walking.assume
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

d = 3  meters

Step-by-step explanation:

d = rt where d is the distance t is the time and r is the constant of proportionality

d = 18t

Changing 10 minutes to hours

10 minutes * 1 hours / 60 minute = 1/6 hour

d = 18 * 1/6 hour

d = 3  meters
