Answer: 1) Vertex: (6, -2) Focus: (6, -7/4) Directrix: y = -9/4
2) Vertex: (-2, -1) Focus: (-7/4, -1) Directrix: x = -9/4
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Rewrite the equation in vertex format y = a(x - h)² + k or x = a(y - k)² + h by completing the square. Divide the b-value by 2 and square it - add that value to both sides of the equation.
- (h, k) is the vertex
- p is the distance from the vertex to the focus
- -p is the distance from the vertex to the directrix

1) y = x² - 12x + 34

2) x = y² + 2y - 1

Answer:
Number of games won = 110
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Total games played = 154
The ratio of number of games won to number of games lost = 
Solution:
Let the number of games won be = 
Thus, number of games lost = 
The total games played can be given as = 
Thus, we have:

Dividing both sides by 7.

∴ 
So, number of games won = 
The first one! It is using the distributive or associative property!
