Just add all trails..
The total for everything is 6.122 kilometers
Answer y = 1/4 (x+3)^2 + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
If the focus is (-3, 3) and the directrix is y=5, the vertex is at (-3, 4). a = 1/4p, p=1, a=1/4. (h,k) is the vertex.
y=a(x-h)^2 +k
y=1/4(x+3)^2+4
Distance from start to look out point is calculated below
d1 = 8 3/4 miles - 0 miles = 8 3/4
Distance from look out point to giant boulder is,
d2 = 8 3/4 miles - 4 1/4 miles = 9/2 miles = 4.5 miles
Thus, the answer is equal to 4 1/2 miles. The answer is letter C.
