Explanation Formula used: Parabola with vertex at ( h , k ) ; Axis of symmetry parallel to a coordinate axis a > 0 . Vertex Focus Directrix Equation Axis of symmetry Opens ( h , k ) ( h + a , k ) x = h − a ( y − k ) 2 = 4 a ( x − h ) Parallel to x -axis Right ( h , k ) ( h − a , k ) x = h + a ( y − k ) 2 = − 4 a ( x − h ) Parallel to x -axis Left ( h , k ) ( h , k + a ) y = k − a ( x − h ) 2 = 4 a ( y − k ) Parallel to y -axis Up ( h , k ) ( h , k − a ) y = k + a ( x − h ) 2 = − 4 a ( y − k ) Parallel to y -axis Down Calculation: The equation of the parabola is, ( y − 2 ) 2 = 12 ( x + 5 ) . Rewrite the equation as ( y − 2 ) 2 = 12 ( x − ( − 5 ) ) . Note that the equation is of the form ( y − k ) 2 = 4 a ( x − h ) which opens right with vertex at ( h , k ) , focus at ( h + a , k ) , and directrix x = h − a

Maximization

Have you ever seen a bridge in the shape of a parabola? Where is its maximum on the bridge? The maximum of that bridge is the highest point on that bridge. The process of finding the maximum of the bridge here is called the maximization.

4. In a study of how students give directions, forty volunteers were given the task ofexplaining to another person how to reach a destination. Researchers measured thefollowing five aspects of the subjects’ direction-giving behavior:• whether a map was available or if directions were given from memory without a map,• the gender of the direction-giver,• the distances given as part of the directions,• the number of times directions such as “north” or “left” were used,• the frequency of errors in directions.a) Identify each of the variables in this study, and whether each is quantitative orqualitative. For each quantitative variable, state whether it is discrete or continuousb) Was this an observational study or an experimental study? Explain your answer
