C. "David's equation is correct, because their spending will be multiplied by the number of months and then subtracted from their savings"
they are technically saying "Look we have 12,350 to use. How long (y) will the savings (12,350) last after using 240 each month (x)
so the amount they use *PER* month gets subtracted from the savings because they are using that money to pay with
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
option A.) y-3 = 1/16 (x-2)^2
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
If the axis of symmetry is parallel to the y-axis, then we have a vertical parabola
The equation of a vertical parabola is equal to

where
(h,k) is the vertex
In this problem we have
(h,k)=(2,3)
p=4
substitute

If you're asking how to simplify, then this is how you do it.
when a power meets another power but in brackets, then you have to multiply the powers. ¼ × 4 would be 1. i simplified 81 to 3⁴.
