Answer:
<u>Part 1</u>
<u>Sideways or "horizontal" parabola</u> with a horizontal axis of symmetry.
<u>Part 2</u>
The vertex is the turning point: (-3, 1)
<u>Part 3</u>
Vertex form of a horizontal parabola:
where:
- (h, k) is the vertex
- a is some constant
If a > 0 the parabola opens to the right.
If a < 0 the parabola opens to the left.
Point on the curve: (-1, 2)
Substituting the vertex and the found point into the formula and solving for a:



<u>Part 4</u>
Equation for the given parabola in vertex form:

Equation in standard form:

Ratio and propoertion
cost/amount is constant
1235/95=x/285
cross multiply or time both sides by (95 times 283)
351975=95x
divide oth sies by 95
3705=x
the cost is $3705
