Find the quadratic equation if its solutions are 1.5 and -.25, and the equation coefficients are not decimals.

If a quadratic equation has solutions and , then we can write it as

So, in your case, we have (let me write 1.5 as 3/2 and -0.25 as -1/4)

If we don't want decimal coefficient, we can multiply the whole expression by 8:

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)
