We know that
Any point <span>(x,y)</span> on the parabola is equidistant from the focus and the directrix
Therefore,
focus (0,4) and directrix of y=2
<span>√[<span>(x−0)</span></span>²+(y−4)²]=y−(2)
<span>√[x</span>²+(y-4)²]=y-2
x²+(y-4)²=(y-2)²
x²+y²-8y+16=y²-4y+4
x²=4y-12-----> 4y=x²+12----->y= (x²/4)+3
the answer is
y= (x²/4)+3
To find the original price, you could use a variable to represent the original price in this equation;
Let p represent the original price
.70 × p=11.20
to solve this, we'd isolate the variable (p)
p=11.20 ÷.70
p=16
The original price was $16
