Remember that for a function of the form

, a parabola, the focus will be:

.
We know that the vertex of the parabola is (0,0), and the sun is the focus of the parabola; we also know that the focus is in the positive y-axis and when the comet is as its vertex, the distance between them is 60'000.000 km; therefore the focus of our parabola is (0, 60'000.000).
Now that we know the focus, we can find

using the focus of the parabola:




Now, the only thing left is replacing the value of

in our equation

:

We can conclude that the equation that represents the path of the comet is
(Its 17 of them actually)
p=percent
17/25=p/100
So 25*4=100.
so that means that we need to multiply the numerator 17 by 4 also. 17*4=69.
So, they won 68% of their games.
Hope this helps :^)
Stanley the skunk will save about 15.5 feet.
This problem can be solve with the Pythagorean Theorem. The possible paths that Stanley can take make a right triangle. The legs of the triangle are 25 and 28, and the hypotenuse would be 37.5.
If Stanley went the long way, he would travel 25 + 28 = 53 feet. Taking the short way (hypotenuse) is 53 - 37.5 = 15.5 feet shorter.
There are 16 cups in a gallon.
5 • 16 = 80
You need 80 cups of sugar for 5 gallons.
