Answer:
4 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola with its vertex at the origin can be written as ...
y = 1/(4p)x^2
The problem statement tells us that one point on the parabola is (x, y) = (12, 9). We can put these values into the equation and solve for p, the distance from the focus to the vertex.
9 = 1/(4p)(12^2)
9×4/144 = 1/p = 1/4 . . . . . . . . multiply by the inverse of the coefficient of 1/p
Then p = 4, and the bulb is 4 cm from the vertex.
Options:
Who is right, and why?
a. Neither Kurt nor Maria is right, because 3,500 should be used instead of 3,600.
b. Kurt is right, because finding 1/5 of 3,600 is not a good way to approximate 21% of 3,585.
c. Maria is right, because finding 10% of 3,600 and multiplying the result by 2 is not a good way to approximate 21% of 3,585.
d. Both Kurt and Maria are right, because 3,585 should be rounded up to 3,600, and 21% of this amount can be approximated by either finding 10% of 3,600 and multiplying the result by 2 or by finding 1/5 of 3,600.
Answer:

Who is correct and why?
First, we calculate the actual amount collected.
--- approximate
Next, determine the estimate (round 3585 to 3600 and 21% to 20%)
Next, calculate Kurt and Maria's estimates
<em>Hence, Kurt and Maria are correct because of option (d)</em>
