8. A pole vaulter rested a 17-foot pole against a wall. If the top of the pole hit the wall 14 feet above
the ground, how far from the wall is the bottom of
the pole?

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:

$113.42

i hope that is right.
