Answer

The option B is the right answer because the vertex is (4,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

In the canonical equation of the parabola:

(X-h) ^ 2 = 4p (y-k)

The values (h, k) correspond to the coordinates (x, y) of the vertex.

In the definition of the problem it is said that the guideline of the parabola is the X axis, that is, the line Y = 0 and the focus is the point (4,6).

If the vertex were the point (4.6) the correct option would be option D

But the vertex is located at the midpoint of the segment defined by the focus points (4, 6) and the point (4, 0) that is on the parabola directrix. therefore, as the vertex is the point (4.3). the correct option is B.

You paint 1313 of a wall in 1414 hour. At that rate, how long will it take you to paint one wall?
Serhud [2]
<span>You paint 1313 of a wall in 1414 hour.
Now we need to find the rate in order you to paint one wall.

1313 : 1414 = 1 : X
1414 = 1313 X
X = 1.08

So the rate per one wall is 1.08 hours.</span>

How much taxes do I pay if the taxes are 2.5% and I make 80,000 a year?
Natali [406]
Percentage of taxes = 2.5%
Amount of income = $80000
Amount of money paid  = (2.5/100) * 80000
                                                                               = 2.5 * 800
                                                                                 = 2000 
<span>So $2000 is the amount needed to pay taxes every year. </span>
