Answer:

I. C = 266 textbooks.

II. S = 207 textbooks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the chemistry textbook be C.

Let the sociology textbook be S.

Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;

C + S = 473 ..... equation 1

S = C - 59 ..... equation 2

Substituting eqn 2 into eqn 1, we have;

C + C - 59 = 473

2C - 59 = 473

2C = 473 + 59

2C = 532

C = 532/2

C = 266 textbooks.

Next, we would determine the value of S;

S = C - 59

S = 266 - 59

S = 207 textbooks.

Check:

C + S = 473

266 + 207 = 473

473 = 473

I’m not sure how to write this equation. Please check the picture to see the graph for yourself! Help will be much appreciated!
Makovka662 [10]

let's notice something, the parabola is a vertical one, so the squared variable is the x, and is opening downwards, meaning the x² will have a negative coefficient.

the distance from the vertex to the directrix/focus is the amount of "p" units, let's see in the graph, the distance from the vertex to the directrix is 2, and since the parabola is opening downwards, "p" is a negative 2, p = -2.  The vertex is of course at (0, 2).


\bf \textit{parabola vertex form with focus point distance}&#10;\\\\&#10;4p(y- k)=(x- h)^2&#10;\qquad&#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;vertex\ ( h, k)\\\\  p=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\&#10;\qquad \textit{ focus or directrix}&#10;\end{array}&#10;\\\\[-0.35em]&#10;\rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\&#10;\begin{cases}&#10;h=0\\&#10;k=2\\&#10;p=-2&#10;\end{cases}\implies 4(-2)(y-2)=(x-0)^2\implies -8(y-2)=x^2&#10;\\\\\\&#10;y-2=\cfrac{x^2}{-8}\implies \blacktriangleright y=-\cfrac{1}{8}x^2+2 \blacktriangleleft
