The equation of the parabola is (y-1)^2 = 16(x+3)
1 answer:
We know that
if the y terms is squared so it opens left or right
Is a Horizontal Parabola, the equation is of the form
(y-k)²=4(p)(x-h)
vertex is (h,k)
and
p is distance from focus to vertex, also distance from vertex to directrix
if p>0, then it opens to the right and directrix is to the left of vertex
if p<0, then it opens to the left and directrix is to the right of vertex
so
(y-1)²=4(4)(x-(-3))
vertex is (-3,1)
4>0 so directrix is to left of vertex
left is in x direction
-3-4=-7
directrix is x=-7
the answer is
x=-7
see the attached figure

Answer:
Where y is the total amount earned, m the amount for each extended warranty and b the fixed cost and x the total amount of TVs
For this case the value of x = 16 since we have 16 Tvs with extended warranties and we can do this:
and solving for b we got:
And then we can conclude that she earns 60 for each TV
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we can set a linear model like this:
Where y is the total amount earned, m the amount for each extended warranty and b the fixed cost and x the total amount of TVs
For this case the value of x = 16 since we have 16 Tvs with extended warranties and we can do this:
and solving for b we got:
And then we can conclude that she earns 60 for each TV
