We know that
the equation of the parabola is of the form
y=ax²+bx+c
in this problem
y=1/4x²−x+3
where
a=1/4
b=-1
c=3
the coordinates of the focus are
(-b/2a,(1-D)/4a)
where D is the discriminant b²-4ac
D=(-1)²-4*(1/4)*3-----> D=1-3---> D=-2
therefore
x coordinate of the focus
-b/2a----> 1/[2*(-1/4)]----> 2
y coordinate of the focus
(1-D)/4a------> (1+2)/(4/4)---> 3
the coordinates of the focus are (2,3)
B=-3
because you divide 27 by -9 to get y by its self
Answer:
you need the distance they're running and the pace they are running at.
we'd do the same as before on this one as well.
if we take 27.99 to be the 100%, what is 12 off of it in percentage?
