Answer:
x = -3, 6
Step-by-step explanation:
First, add 18 to both sides
x² - 3x - 18 = 0
+ 18 + 18
x² - 3x = 18
Add 9/4 to both sides because that is the square of half of -3
x² - 3x + 9/4 = 18 + 9/4
Multiply both sides by 4 to get rid of the fractions
(x² - 3x + 9/4 = 18 + 9/4)4
4x² - 12x + 9 = 72 + 9 = 81
Factor the left side of the equation
(2x - 3)² = 81
√(2x - 3)² = √81
Because of the square root, this will result in a positive number and a negative number
2x - 3 = 9
2x - 3 = -9
For both equations, add 3 to both sides then divide by 2
2x - 3 = 9
+ 3 +3
2x = 12
2x/2 = 12/2
x = 6
2x - 3 = -9
+ 3 + 3
2x = -6
x = -3
The parabola opens in the direction of the focus.
Since the focus is above the vertex, it opens up.
If Ken wants to pay more than 130, he needs to drive more than 90 miles. You subtract 94 from 130, which equals 36. 36 divided by .4 (for the price per mile) and it equals 90.
