The equation of the directrix is x = -3

<h3>What is Parabola?</h3>

A mirror-symmetrical, roughly U-shaped plane curve known as a parabola. It corresponds to a number of mathematical models that appear to be superficially dissimilar but yet all define the exact same curves. A point and a line are one way to describe a parabola.

<h3>According to the given information: </h3>

Given the general equation of a parabola expressed as

(y-y0)² = 4a(x-x0) ... 1

Equation of the directrix will be expressed as x = x0 - a

From the equation given;

y² = 12x ... 2

Comparing 1 and 2;

x - x0 = x

-x0 = x - x

-x0 = 0

x0 = 0

Similarly;

y-y0 = y

-y0 = y - y

-y0 = 0

y0 = 0

Also;

4a = 12

a = 12/4

a = 3

Substituting x0 =0, y0 = 0 and a = 3 into the equation of the directrix above, we will have;

x = x0 - a

x = 0 - 3

x = -3

Hence,

the equation of the directrix is x = -3

An item is regularly priced at $60 . Jessica bought it on sale for 65% off the regular price. How much did Jessica pay?
adoni [48]

First, convert the 65% to a real mathematical number. For percents, this is always done by dividing the 65% by 100%, or 65% / 100% = 0.650.

Second, find out what 65% of $60 is. This is the amount of the sale discount. This is always found by mulitplying 0.650 by the item's cost $60, like this:

0.650 x $60 = $39.00.

So for this sale, you'll save $39.00 on this item.

This means, the cost of the item to you is

<span>$60 - $39.00 = $21.00.</span>
