<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

Ava and Kelly will be 3/4 mile apart after 0.375 hours.

<h2>Why?</h2>

To calculate when will Ava and Kelly be 3/4 mile apart, we need to write the equations for both Ava's and Kelly's positions.

Writing the equations we have:

For Ava:

x_A=x_o+v_ot\\\\x_A=0+v_o*t\\\\x_A=v_{o(ava)*t

For Kelly:

We need to calculate when Kelly will be 3/4 mile apart becase is running faster than Ava, so, writing the equation we have:

x_K=x_A+\frac{3}{4}mile=x_o+v_{o(Kelly)}*t

Now, substituting the equation for Ava into the equation for Kelly, we have:

x_A+\frac{3}{4}mile=x_o+v_{o(Kelly)}*t

v_{o(ava)*t+\frac{3}{4}mile}=x_o+v_{o(Kelly)}*t

v_{o(ava)*t+0.75mile}=x_{o}+v_{o(Kelly)}*t\\\\6mph*t+0.75mile=8mph*t\\\\0.75mile=2mph*t\\\\t=\frac{0.75miles}{2mph}=0.375hours

To prove  that the result is correct, we just need to substitute the obtained value for time into both equations, so, substutiting we have:

For Ava:

x_A=v_{o(ava)*t=6mph*0.375hours=2.25miles

For Kelly:

x_K=v_{o(Kelly)}*t=8mph*0.375=3miles

There is a difference of 0.75 miles or 3/4 mile between Ava and Kelly, so, the obtained value for time is correct.

Therefore, we have that Ava and Kelly will be 3/4 mile apart after 0.375 hours.

Have a nice day!

Find the equation of the parabola with focus (5, 1) and directrix y = -1.
Mumz [18]
Check the picture below.

since the focus point is above the directrix, that simply means the parabola is a vertical one, and therefore the square variable is the "x".

keeping in mind that, there's a distance "p" from the vertex to either the focus point or the directrix, that puts the vertex half-way between those fellows, in this case at 0, right between 1 and -1, as you see in the picture, and the parabola looks like so.

since the parabola is opening upwards, the value for "p" is positive, thus

\bf \textit{parabola vertex form with focus point distance}&#10;\\\\&#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;4p(x- h)=(y- k)^2&#10;\\\\&#10;\boxed{4p(y- k)=(x- h)^2}&#10;\end{array}&#10;\qquad &#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;vertex\ ( h, k)\\\\&#10; p=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\&#10;\qquad \textit{ focus or directrix}&#10;\end{array}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;\begin{cases}&#10;h=5\\&#10;k=0\\&#10;p=1&#10;\end{cases}\implies 4(1)(y-0)=(x-5)^2&#10;\\\\\\&#10;4y=(x-5)^2\implies  y=\cfrac{1}{4}(x-5)^2
