A manufacturer is designing a flashlight. For the flashlight to emit a focused beam, the bulb needs to be on the central axis of the parabolic reflector, 3 centimeters from the vertex. Write an equation that models the parabola formed when a cross section is taken through the reflector’s central axis. Assume that the vertex of the parabola is at the origin in the xy coordinate plane and the parabola can open in any direction.

Create a graph for the demand for starfish using the following data table: quantity/price of starfish quantity (x axis) of starfish in dozens price (y axis) of starfish per dozen 0 8 2 6 3 5 5 2 7 1 9 0 is the relationship between the price of starfish and the quantity demanded inverse or direct? why? how many dozens of starfish are demanded at a price of five? calculate the slope of the line between the prices of 6 (quantity of 2) and 1 (quantity of 7) per dozen. describe the line when there is a direct relationship between price and quantity.
