Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 miles away.
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.

(b) Show that each parabola in this family has its focus at the origin.
The graph of x² = 4p(y + p) is obtained by shifting the graph of x2
= 4py vertically
units so that the vertex is at (x, y) = (
). The focus of x2 = 4py is at (x, y) = (
), so this point is also shifted
units vertically to the point (x, y) = (
). Thus, the focus is located at the origin.
(c) Describe the effect on the graph of moving the vertex closer to the origin.
The parabolas become ---Select--- v as the vertex moves toward the origin.
