PART A
The equation of the parabola in vertex form is given by the formula,

where

is the vertex of the parabola.
We substitute these values to obtain,

The point, (3,6) lies on the parabola.
It must therefore satisfy its equation.




Hence the equation of the parabola in vertex form is

PART B
To obtain the equation of the parabola in standard form, we expand the vertex form of the equation.

This implies that

We expand to obtain,

This will give us,


This equation is now in the form,

where

This is the standard form
All triangles interior angles equal 180
So these 3 angles = 180
Number in the thousands place: 2
Number in the hundreds place: 4
Since 4<5, the number rounds down.
Final answer: 32,000
Answer:
tall candles = 39
Short candles = 52
Step-by-step explanation:
let tall candles be x
and short candles be y
No. Of candles sold = x + y =91
Money made from candles will be equal to = 8x + 5y = $572
These both are simultaneous linear equations.
x + y =91 ( multiply by 5)
5x + 5y = 455
8x + 5y = $572
Subtract them:
-3x = -117
x = -117/3
x = 39
put value of x in
x + y = 91
39 + y = 91
y = 91 - 39
y = 52
x shows tall candles so they are 39
y shows short candles so they are 52
<em>The answer is Ms Hernandez can bring up to 6 people to the zoo.</em>

<em>x - the number of people that she can bring to the zoo</em>
<em>The parking will cost $7: a = 7</em>
<em>Admission tickets will cost $15.50 per person: b = 15.50x</em>
<em>She can spend on parking and admission tickets $100:</em>
a + b ≤ 100
a = 7
b = 15.50x
7 + 15.50x ≤ 100
15.50x ≤ 100 - 7
15.50x ≤ 93
x ≤ 93 / 15.50
x ≤ 6
