I assume that the parabola in this particular problem is one whose axis of symmetry is parallel to the y axis. The formula we're going to use in this case is (x-h)2=4p(y-k). We know variables h and k from the vertex (1,20) but p is not given. However, we can solve for p by substituting values x and y in the formula with the y-intercept:
(0-1)^2=4p(16-20)
Solving for p, p=-1/16.
Going back to the formula, we can finally solve for the x-intercepts. Simply fill in variables p, h and k then set y to zero:
(x-1)^2=4(-1/16)(0-20)
(x-1)^2=5
x-1=(+-)sqrt(5)
x=(+-)sqrt(5)+1
Here, we have two values of x
x=sqrt(5)+1 and
x=-sqrt(5)+1
thus, the answers are: (sqrt(5)+1,0) and (-sqrt(5)+1,0).
the 2 angles are congruent so...
x+40=3x set the 2 equations equal to each other
40=2x subtract x from both sides
20=x divide by 2
x=20 is the final answer
Have a blessed day!

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
x = ( -9 + sqrt(33) ) /4
and
x = ( -9 - sqrt(33) ) /4
Discussion:
Using the quadratic formula with a = 2, b = 9 and c = 6 gives
x = ( -b +\- sqrt(b^2-4ac) )/2a
x = ( -9 +\- sqrt(9^2 - 4*2*6)) / (2*2) =>
x = ( -9 +\- sqrt (81- 48)) / 4 =>
x = ( -9 +\- sqrt(33) ) /4
Thank you,

Answer:
f(x) = ($23/week)(x)
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
Let's determine the unit rate. I'd suggest finding the cost per week, rather than the weeks covered by a certain amount of money.
Then:
$115
-------- = $23 per week
Then the amount spent as a function of the # of weeks would be:
f(x) = ($23/week)(x)
