We know that

case a)
the equation of the vertical parabola write in vertex form is
y=a(x-h)²+k,
where (h, k) is the vertex.

Using our vertex, we have:
y=a(x-2)²-1
We know that the parabola goes through (5, 0),

so
we can use these coordinates to find the value of a:
0=a(5-2)²-1
0=a(3)²-1
0=9a-1

Add 1 to both sides:
0+1=9a-1+1
1=9a
Divide both sides by 9:
1/9 = 9a/9
1/9 = a
y=(1/9)(x-2)²-1

the answer is
a=1/9


case b)
the equation of the horizontal parabola write in vertex form is
x=a(y-k)²+h, 
where (h, k) is the vertex.

Using our vertex, we have:
x=a(y+1)²+2, 
We know that the parabola goes through (5, 0),

so
we can use these coordinates to find the value of a:
5=a(0+1)²+2
5=a+2
a=5-2
a=3
x=3(y+1)²+2

the answer is
a=3

see the attached figure

laila [671]

Answer:

$44.10

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: 52+(52•.20) that is the first part for your answer you should get 10.4 or $10.40. Then you would take 52-10.4=41.60 then keeping that number in mind you do 41.60• .06 and get, rounded, 2.50. Then you would add 41.60+2.50 and get $44.10 as your answer.
