Acomet travels along a parabolic path around the sun. the sun is the focus of the path. when the comet is at the vertex of the path, it is 60,000,000 kilometers from the sun. write an equation that represents the path of the comet. assume the focus is on the positive y-axis and the vertex is (0, 0).

Find the solution set of this inequality. enter your answer in interval notation using grouping symbols. |8x-4| ≤ 12

Astudent draws two parabolas on graph paper. both parabolas cross the x-axis at (-4, 0) and (6,0). the y-intercept of thefirst parabola is (0, –12). the y-intercept of the second parabola is (0-24). what is the positive difference between the avalues for the two functions that describe the parabolas? write your answer as a decimal rounded to the nearest tenth.
