The answer should be 1.8 or 1 4/5
Answer:
y= 1/12(x-0)^2+0
this answer works as an upward parabola
Step-by-step explanation:
- The formula for a veritcal parabola is y=1/4p(x-h)^2+k
- (h,k)= coordinates of the vertex of the parabola
- p= absolute value of the distance from the vertex to the focus/directrix
- In this problem, it is given that the vertex is at the origin (0,0) and the focus (the bulb), is 3 centimeters away from the vertex.
- Now, you know the values of the variables. Fill in the values
- FROM THE FORMULA: 1/4p turns into 1/12 since p is 3.
- (x-h)^2+k turns into (x-0)^2+0, since h and k where the values of the vertex which was 0,0
- once all the variables are given values (except x and y) you have made your equation!
- The answer is y=1/12(x-0)^2+0

I say step 4 is incorrect.
