A yardstick measures distance to 1/4, or 0.25, of an inch. What is the most appropriate way to report a length using this yardstick?

total of apples - take away four

6-4 = 2

answer is 2 apples

given : the shape of his satellite can be modeled by   where x and y are modeled in inches.

now,the given equation   is a equation of parabola.

here, coefficient of x is positive, hence the parabola opens rightwards.

on comparing this equation with standard equation , we get

in standard equation, coordinates of focus=(0,m)

thus for given equation coordinates of focus=(0,1.5)

step-by-step explanation:
