Brenda took her dog to the veterinarian for an exam. The doctor told Brenda her dog needed to lose weight. Her dog weighed 55 pounds during this visit. The doctor suggested that her dog 45 pounds by their next visit. What is this weight decrease represented as a percent?

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one;

given

initial weight = 55 pounds

final weight= 45 pounds

Step two:

Required

the % weight decrease

% decrease= initial-final/initial *100

% decrease= 55-45/55 *100

% decrease= 10/55 *100

% decrease= 0.18 *100

% decrease= 18%

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)
