Suppose that equation of parabola is
y =ax² + bx + c


Since parabola passes through the point (2,−15) then 
−15 = 4a + 2b + c

Since parabola passes through the point (-5,-29), then
−29 = 25a − 5b + c

Since parabola passes through the point (−3,−5), then 
−5 = 9a − 3b + c


Thus, we obtained following system:
4a + 2b + c = −15
25a − 5b + c = −29
9a − 3b + c = −5

Solving it we get that 
a = −2, b = −4, c = 1

Thus, equation of parabola is
y = −2x²− 4x + 1

____________________

Rewriting in the form of 
(x - h)² = 4p(y - k)

i) -2x² - 4x + 1 = y

ii) -3x² - 7x = y - 11
(-3x² and -7x are isolated)

iii) -3x² - 7x - 49/36 = y - 1 - 49/36
(Adding -49/36 to both sides to get perfect square on LHS)

iv) -3(x² + 7/3x + 49/36) = y - 3
(Taking out -3 common from LHS)

v) -3(x + 7/6)² = y - 445/36 

vi) (x + 7/6)² = -⅓(y - 445/36) 
(Shifting -⅓ to RHS)

vii) (x + 1)² = 4(-1/12)(y - 445/36)
(Rewriting in the form of 4(-1/12) ; This is 4p) 


So, after rewriting the equation would be - 

(x + 7/6)² = 4(-⅛)(y - 445/36)

Since parabola passes through the point (-5,-29), then

Since parabola passes through the point (−3,5), then 
5 = 9a − 3b + c


Thus, we obtained following system:
4a + 2b + c = −15
25a − 5b + c = −29
9a − 3b + c = 5

Solving it we get that 
a = −3, b = −7, c = 11

Thus, equation of parabola is
y = −3x²− 7x + 11

Rewriting in the form of 
(x - h)² = 4p(y - k)

i) -3x² - 7x + 11 = y

ii) -3x² - 7x = y - 11
(-3x² and -7x are isolated)

iii) -3x² - 7x - 147/36 = y - 11 - 147/36
(Adding -147/36 to both sides to get perfect square on LHS)

iv) -3(x² + 7/3x + 49/36) = y - 543/36
(Taking out -3 common from LHS)

v) -3(x + 7/6)² = y - 181/12 

vi) (x + 7/6)² = -⅓(y - 181/12) 
(Shifting -⅓ to RHS)

vii) (x + 1)² = 4(-1/12)(y - 181/12)
(Rewriting in the form of 4(-1/12) ; This is 4p) 


So, after rewriting the equation would be - 

(x + 7/6)² = 4(-1/12)(y - 181/12)

Chad had 30 dollars to spend on 3 gifts. He spent 9 dollars on gift A and 6
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Chad had 15 dollars left for gift C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Chad had total amount = 30 dollars.

Amount spend on gift A = 9 dollars.

Amount spend on gift B = 6 dollars.

To Find:

Amount Left for gift C = ?

Solution:

Total Amount = 30 dollars.

Total number of gifts = 3 i .e Gift A, Gift B , Gift C.

Total amount spend for  Gift A and Gift B = Amount spend on gift A + Amount spend on gift B

∴ Total amount spend for  Gift A and Gift B = 9 + 6

∴ Total amount spend for  Gift A and Gift B = 15 dollars.

Now,

Amount Left for Gift C = Total Amount - Total amount spend for  Gift A and Gift B.

∴ Amount Left for Gift C = 30 - 15

∴ Amount Left for Gift C =  15 dollars
