Atruck stopped at a weigh station along the highway. the sign read "maximum weight 40.3" the truck weighed in at 40.09 tons. is the trucks weight greater than the maximum weight?

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:

noncoplanar points are points that do not lie on the same line.
