Answer
The sum of y and z must be 1/2 x
Step-by-step explanation:
You'll see
9.4 is the answer because 6% of 10 is .6 and you do 10-0.6
The line is called the directrix. Here we have a vertical directrix, so a parabola sideways from usual.
Geometry is best done with squared distances. The squared distance from an arbitrary point (x,y) to the vertical line x=2 is

We equate that to the squared distance of (x,y) to the focus (-2,0):



We could call that done. A more standard form might be
Solve the following system:{12 x = 54 - 6 y | (equation 1)-17 x = -6 y - 62 | (equation 2)
Express the system in standard form:{12 x + 6 y = 54 | (equation 1)-(17 x) + 6 y = -62 | (equation 2)
Swap equation 1 with equation 2:{-(17 x) + 6 y = -62 | (equation 1)12 x + 6 y = 54 | (equation 2)
Add 12/17 × (equation 1) to equation 2:{-(17 x) + 6 y = -62 | (equation 1)0 x+(174 y)/17 = 174/17 | (equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 by 17/174:{-(17 x) + 6 y = -62 | (equation 1)0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Subtract 6 × (equation 2) from equation 1:{-(17 x)+0 y = -68 | (equation 1)0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by -17:{x+0 y = 4 | (equation 1)0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Collect results:Answer: {x = 4 {y = 1
Please note the { are supposed to span over both equations but it interfaces doesn't allow it. Please see attachment for clarification.
Answer:
Company A:
c = 40 + 2s
Company B:
c = 20 + 4s
Equal costs => 40 + 2s = 20 +4s => 4s - 2s = 40 - 20 => 2s = 20 => s = 20/2
=> s = 10
And c = 20 + 4s = 20 + 4(10) = 20 + 40 = 60
