Three cousins have ages that are consecutive integers. the product of the two older counsins ages is twelve less than six times the sum of the younger two cousins ages. write an equation and solve to find the three cousins ages algebraically.

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)
