We are given function: y= 
Where, x is the number of hours after 5a.m.
We need to approximates the number of people standing in line to catch a commuter train at 7 a.m.
From 5 a.m. to 7 a.m. total number of hours = 7-5 = 2 hours.
So, we need to plug x=2 in the given function.
Plugging x=2 in 
, we get
Let us simplify it now.
2^2= 4.
Therefore,
= -20.524 + 63.642 - 3.333.
= 39.785 or 40 approximately.
Therefore, the number of people in line at 7 a.m. is approximately 40 people.
Option D.40 is correct option.
The equation of parabola is 
. If a is positive and 
is always greater than zero or equal to zero, then x is also greater or equal to zero. This means that parabola is determined for non-negative x and for all real y.
Tha canonical equation of parabola is 
, where p>0. The branches of this parabola go up in positive y-direction. When you change x to y and y to x, then the branches of parabola go in positive x-direction, that is right.
Answer: correct choice is A.
Y - 2 = -3/4 (x - 6)
y = -3/4 (x - 6) + 2
When, x = -2,
y = -3/4 (-2 - 6) + 2 = -3/4 (-8) + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8
One point is (-2, 8)
When, x = 2,
y = -3/4 (2 - 6) + 2 = -3/4 (-4) + 2 = 3 + 2 = 5
Another point is (2, 5)
Marcus has created a budget for his upcoming trip to the theme park. Admission is 40% of the budget. He plans to spend 32% of his money on food, 23% on souvenirs, and save 5% for emergencies. He knows the admission will be $6 less than he will spend on food and souvenirs. How much money will Marcus need to take to the park?
