All real numbers greater than -3
I we consider her running times as an arithmetic series with common difference:
43.13 - 43.1 = -.03/2 = -.015, Shelly's time in the fourth race will be 43.1 - .015 = 43.085.
<span> we have that
standard form of equation for parabola:
(x-h)^2=-4p(y-k)
(h,k) --------->being the (x,y) coordinates of the vertex.
Parabola opens downwards because focus is below vertex on the axis of symmetry.
For given problem:
</span><span>vertex: (-3,2)
axis of symmetry: x=-3
p=distance from vertex to focus on the axis of symmetry=2-(-1)=3
4p=12
Directrix: y=2+p=5
Equation:
(x+3)^2=-12(y-2)
the answer is </span>(x+3)^2=-12(y-2)
Answer: After 3 hours both will have the same cost.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = Number of hours and y be the total cost.
Total cost = Initial cost + (cost per hour)(Number of hours)
At Mike's Bounce Shop,
Total cost (y)= 30+2x
At Jose's Bounce Rentals,
Total cost(y) = 12+8x
When both shops have the same cost, then

Total cost = 12+8(3)=12+24=$36
Hence, After 3 hours both will have the same cost.
