385 + 326 + 298 = 1,009 / 3 = 336.33
385 + 326 + 298 + x = 350
350 x 4 = 1,400
1,400 - 1,009 = 391
385 + 326 + 298 + 391 = 1,400 / 4 = 350
The answer is $391
the final temperature was -2 F, and that reflects a drop of 13 units, so
-2------0------------------------------------------------------+11.
First, we need to transform the equation into its standard form (x - h)²=4p(y - k).
Using completing the square method:
y = -14x² - 2x - 2
y = -14(x² + 2x/14) - 2
y = -14(x² + 2x/14 + (2/28)²) -2 + (2/28)²
y = -14(x + 1/14)² - 391/196
-1/14(y + 391/196) = (x + 1/14)²
This is a vertical parabola and its focus <span>(h, k + p) is (-1/14, -391/196 + 1/56) = (-1/14, -775/392).
Or (-0.071,-1.977).</span>
