I assume that the parabola in this particular problem is one whose axis of symmetry is parallel to the y axis. The formula we're going to use in this case is (x-h)2=4p(y-k). We know variables h and k from the vertex (1,20) but p is not given. However, we can solve for p by substituting values x and y in the formula with the y-intercept:
(0-1)^2=4p(16-20)
Solving for p, p=-1/16.
Going back to the formula, we can finally solve for the x-intercepts. Simply fill in variables p, h and k then set y to zero:
(x-1)^2=4(-1/16)(0-20)
(x-1)^2=5
x-1=(+-)sqrt(5)
x=(+-)sqrt(5)+1
Here, we have two values of x
x=sqrt(5)+1 and
x=-sqrt(5)+1
thus, the answers are: (sqrt(5)+1,0) and (-sqrt(5)+1,0).
Well, since these are rectangles, and both have 2 measurements, it would be quite simple, you must find how 9 and 15 are similar, then see if that same similarity is found within the 3 and the 5.
the answer is yes, they are similar because...
9×1 1/3=15
and
3× 1/3=5
therefore they are similar.
hope this helped, plz follow me

The equivalent expression of a + 5 is -(-a - 5)
<h3>How to rewrite the expression?</h3>
The expression is given as:
a + 5
Multiply by 1
1 * (a + 5)
Express 1 as -1 * -1
-1 * -1 * (a + 5)
Open the bracket
-1 * (-a - 5)
This gives
-(-a - 5)
Hence, the equivalent expression of a + 5 is -(-a - 5)
