x=3.74
A parabola is a mirror-symmetrical planar curve that is nearly U-shaped. The vertex of the parabola will lie at (-3,2).
<h3>What is the Equation of a parabola?</h3>
A parabola is a mirror-symmetrical planar curve that is nearly U-shaped.
y = a(x-h)² + k
where,
(h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex of the parabola in the form (x, y);
a defines how narrower is the parabola, and the "-" or "+" that the parabola will open up or down.
Comparing the given equation with the equation of a parabola, we will get,
y = a(x -h)² + k
y = -4(x+3)² + 2
Hence, the vertex of the parabola will lie at (-3,2).

hmmm let's find the distance between B and C first off.

hmmm if BC is that much, then AB + AC = 7, since AB + AC + BC = 12 which is the perimeter, Check the picture below.
The rational number, 5/7 converted to a decimal is 0.714.
<h3>What is the decimal?</h3>
A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a fraction of two integers.
A decimal is a non-integer in which the integers are separated from the non integers by a point. In order to convert the fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator.
5/7 = 0.714
