Speed is given by:
speed=distance/time
given that:
1 mile=1,760 yards
1 hour=60 min
then the speed in yards/sec will be:
distance Ashley covered is 15 miles
time=2 hours
thus;
speed=(15x1760)/(2x60)
=220 yards/ min
PART A
The equation of the parabola in vertex form is given by the formula,

where

is the vertex of the parabola.
We substitute these values to obtain,

The point, (3,6) lies on the parabola.
It must therefore satisfy its equation.




Hence the equation of the parabola in vertex form is

PART B
To obtain the equation of the parabola in standard form, we expand the vertex form of the equation.

This implies that

We expand to obtain,

This will give us,


This equation is now in the form,

where

This is the standard form

(You go from left to right)
(Dividend is 931, divisor is 7)
Step 1: Look for a number smaller than 9 that is divisible by 7. 7 is the only one which is smaller than 9 and is divisible by 7. Now that you know 7*1=7, you put 1 above 931 (Dividend)
Step 2: You subtract that number from the number in tens place. And bring the leftover down.
Step 3: You repeat Step 1 and 2 until either you get a remainder of 0 or the remainder in smaller than the divisor (in this case 7)
(Therefore 931/7=133, quotient=133, remainder=0)
