We know that
the equation of the parabola is of the form
y=ax²+bx+c
in this problem
y=1/4x²−x+3
where
a=1/4
b=-1
c=3
the coordinates of the focus are
(-b/2a,(1-D)/4a)
where D is the discriminant b²-4ac
D=(-1)²-4*(1/4)*3-----> D=1-3---> D=-2
therefore
x coordinate of the focus
-b/2a----> 1/[2*(-1/4)]----> 2
y coordinate of the focus
(1-D)/4a------> (1+2)/(4/4)---> 3
the coordinates of the focus are (2,3)
Answer:
The dimensions of rectangle are:
Width = 16 inches
Length = 106 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of rectangle = 244 inches
Let Width of rectangle = w
Length of rectangle = w+90
We need to find the dimensions (length and width) of the carpet
The formula used will be: 
Putting values and making equation:

So, we get w = 16
The width w = 16 inches
Now, finding length = w+ 90 = 16+90 = 106 inches
Therefore the dimensions of rectangle are:
Width = 16 inches
Length = 106 inches
