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)
There would be four sides, three around and the bottom base <span />
Subtraction is the operation that you should is to solve this problem
Answer: i'm pretty sure the first option is correct. she wrote it down correctly
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of employees in 9 years
= 870 * (1 - 0.02)⁹
= 870 * (0.98)⁹
≈ 725 employees.
