Answer:

2.39 x 10^5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Although it is not usually written, there is always a .0 at the end of a number unless there is a specific decimal that was given.

So, the number here is 239,000.0 and if you count the number of spaces that the decimal needs to move in order to be in the correct spot for scientific notation (which is always after the first number), there is 5 spaces.

Therefore the answer is 2.39 x 10^5 miles.

If the parabola has y = -4 at both x = 2 and x = 3, then since a parabola is symmetric, its axis of symmetry must be between x = 2 and x = 3, or at x = 5/2. Our general equation can then be:
y = a(x - 5/2)^2 + k
Substitute (1, -2): -2 = a(-3/2)^2 + k
-2 = 9a/4 + k
Substitute (2, -4): -4 = a(-1/2)^2 + k
-4 = a/4 + k
Subtracting: 2 = 2a, so a = 1. Substituting back gives k = -17/4.
So the equation is y = (x - 5/2)^2 - 17/4
Expanding: y = x^2 - 5x + 25/4 - 17/4
y = x^2 - 5x + 2 (This is the standard form.)
