The basic form of the equation is:
4p(x-h) = (y-k)2
(h,k) is the vertex
4(-0.5)(x-1.5) = (y-(-4))2
-2(x-1.5) = (y+4)2
-2(x-1.5) = y2 + 8y + 16
x - 1.5 = (-1/2)(y2 + 8y + 16)
x = (-1/2)y2 - 4y - 8 + 1.5
x = (-1/2)y2 - 4y - 6.5
Answer:
look it up its the same as the equation
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x-------> the number of fiction books
y-------> the number of nonfiction books.
we know that
-----> equation 
-----> equation 
Add equation
and equation 
<u>find the value of y</u>



therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
Part a) the number of fiction books is 
Part b) the number of nonfiction books is
