My grandfather has a golf ball collection of 1,200 golf balls. Each Saturday he goes to various shops and yard sales to add 5 new golf balls to his collection. Write the explicit function for this problem. Use x as your variable.

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:

the answer is 8.64
