Answer: $5.64
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let x represent 1 box of batteries
Let y represent 1 case of batteries
Given: 14x = 3y
Given: 158 = 14x + 3y
Use substitution: 158 = 14x + 14x
Simplify: 158 = 28x
Divide by 28: 5.64 = x
The standard equation of parabola:
(y-k)²=4p(x-h), with:
a) vertex = (h,k)
b) focus = (h+p, k)
c) directrix = (x=h-p)
Since this parabola has a vertex at (0,0) that means h=k=0
Hence the equation becomes: y²=4px, let's calculate p:
focus is given (-9,0) Remember h+p = -9 & since h=0, then p= -9
===> y²= - 36x
