The vertex of this parabola is at (3,5). when the y value is 6x value is negative one what is the coefficient of the squared term in the problems equation

We know that equation of a parabola is given by :-

y = a(x-h)² + k

Where (h,k) is the vertex of parabola and (x,y) is any point on its curve.

Given that vertex of parabola is (3,5) and one point (x,y) is (6,-1).

We can plug the given information in the equation of parabola and solve it for value of 'a' :-

-1 = a(6 - 3)² + 5

-1 = a(3)² + 5

-1 = 9a + 5

9a = -1 -5 = -6

a =

a = is the final answer.

(2,20) means that the 2 is 2 hours and 20 is 20$. so there both 20$ for 2 hours only the same price. like it says. so, the dunk tank and the bounce house are the same price (20$) for the same amount of time (2 hours).
