Consider the graphs of equations of the quadratic form that have two x-intercepts. Let d denote the distance from the axis of the parabola to either of the x-intercepts, and let h denote the value of the y-coordinate of the vertex. Explore the relationship between d and h for several specific equations, and then develop a formula for this relationship.

Billing for service A common method of billing for service calls is to charge a flat fee plus an additional fee for each quarter-hour spent on the call. Create a function for a washer repair company that charges $40 plus $20 for each quarter-hour or portion thereoffor example, a 30-minute repair call would cost $80, while a 31-minute repair call would cost $100. The input to your function is any positive integer. (Hint: See Exercise 54(e) of Section 2.5.)
