9 feet above the ground, since it has to be 3 feet away from the wall you would have to subtract those 3 feet from the length of the ladder.
7^5/4 would be the answer to the question I think you are asking
He has 13 kids in his class. I subtracted 42 - 3 and got 39. Then I divided 39 by 3. That gave me 13.
Answer:
The turning point of a parabola is the vertex
Vertex form of a quadratic equation: 
(where (h, k) is the vertex and a is the coefficient of the variable x²)
Given:

- vertex = (-1, 3)
Therefore, a = 1
Substituting a = 1 and the given vertex into the equation:




Therefore, a = 2 and b = 4
