The equation of the vertical parabola in vertex form is written as
Where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and p is the focal distance.
The directrix of a parabola is a line which every point of the parabola is equally distant to this line and the focus of the parabola. The vertex is located between the focus and the directrix, therefore, the distance between the y-coordinate of the vertex and the directrix represents the focal distance.
Using this value for p and (3, 1) as the vertex, we have our equation
Answer:
Allison worked 6 hours lifeguarding and 3 hours washing cars.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Number of hours Allison worked lifeguarding last week = x
Number of hours Allison worked washing cars last week = y
1. Last week Allison worked 3 more hours lifeguarding than hours washing cars hours, then
<u>Lifeguarding:</u>
$12 per hour
$12x in x hours.
<u>Washing cars:</u>
$8 pere hour
$8y in y hours.
2. Allison earned a total of $96, hence
You get the system of two equations:
Plot the graphs of these two equations (see attached diagram). These line intersect at point (6,3), so Allison worked 6 hours lifeguarding and 3 hours washing cars.
