After plotting all the three points, we get the parabolic equation in the form is 2(x - 1)²-34.
<h3>What is parabola?</h3>
Any point on a parabola, which has the shape of a U, is situated at an equal distance from the focus, a fixed point, and the directrix, a fixed line.
General equation of the quadratic equation,
Y = ax² + bx +c
Given points,
(-2, 0),
(-1, -10),
(4, 0).
Putting the points in the general equation,
Putting (-2, 0), we get
0 = 4a - 2b + c
Putting (-1, -10), we get
-10 = a - b +c
Putting (4, 0), we get
0 = 16a + 4b +c
Solving all equations we get,
a = 2 , b = -4 , c = -16
After putting the values,
Y = 2x²- 4x- 16
2(x² - 2x - 8)
2(x²- 2x + 1 - 1 - 16)
=2(x - 1)²-34
Hence we get the required equation in the parabolic form.

We can use the difference of two squares, which is:
x^2 + y^2 = (x-y)(x+y)
So,
(9m-7)(9m+7)

Answer: the cost per unit of gas is $0.28
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost per unit of electricity.
Let y represent the cost per unit of gas.
During one month, a homeowner used 500 units of electricity and 100 units of gas for a total cost of $333. This is expressed as
500x + 100y = 333 - - - -- - -- - -- -1
The next month, 400 units of electricity and 150 units of gas were used for a total cost of $286. This is expressed as
400x + 150y = 286 - - - - - - - - - --2
Multiplying equation 1 by 400 and equation 2 by 500, it becomes
200000x + 40000y = 133200
200000x + 75000y = 143000
Subtracting, it becomes
- 35000y = - 9800
y = - 9800/- 35000
y = 0.28
Substituting y = 0.28 into equation 2, it becomes
400x + 150 × 0.28 = 286
400x = 286 - 42 = 244
x = 244/400 = 0.61
