The answer to number 5 is 1/4 of a foot. there are 12 inches in a foot. 12 divided by 4 is 3. So 12 inches divided by 4 sections is 3 inches in each section.
From the problem, the vertex = (0, 0) and the focus = (0, 3)
From the attached graphic, the equation can be expressed as:
(x -h)^2 = 4p (y -k)
where (h, k) are the (x, y) values of the vertex (0, 0)
The "p" value is the difference between the "y" value of the focus and the "y" value of the vertex.
p = 3 -0
p = 3
So, we form the equation
(x -0)^2 = 4 * 3 (y -0)
x^2 = 12y
To put this in proper quadratic equation form, we divide both sides by 12
y = x^2 / 12

The algebraic expression for given statement is: 10x + 25 or 3(x + 4) + (7x + 13)
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given the statement:
Three sets of a sum of a number and four are added to the sum of seven times the same number and thirteen
Let us first understand the given statement,
Let the number be "x"
" sum of a number and four" means x + 4
"Three sets of a sum of a number and four" translated to 3(x + 4)
"sum of seven times the same number and thirteen" means 7x + 13
<em><u>Thus the algebraic expression for given statement is:</u></em>

<em><u>Using distributive property in above expression</u></em>

Therefore,

<em><u>Combine the like terms</u></em>

Thus the required expression for given statement is: 10x + 25 or 3(x + 4) + (7x + 13)
