Step-by-step explanation:
ANSWER
B. The two middle coefficients add to the correct number but do not multiply to the correct number.
EXPLANATION
The given quadratic trinomial that Tina tries to factor is

Comparing to

we have a=10, b=-13 and c=-3
ac=-3×10=-30
We split the middle term so that their sum is -13.
Tina use
-10,-3
to get
-10x-3x
The sum is -13x alright but the product is not -30.
B is correct.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If you plot the directrix and the focus, you can see that the focus is to the left of the directrix. Since a parabola ALWAYS wraps itself around the focus, our parabola opens sideways, to the left to be specific. The formula for the parabola that opens to the left is

We will solve this for x at the end. The negative is out front because it opens to the left. If it opened to the right, it would be positive.
The vertex of a parabola is exactly halfway between the focus and the directrix, so our vertex coordinates h and k are (3, 6). P is defined as the distance between the vertex and the directrix, or the vertex and the focus. Since the vertex is directly between both the directrix and the focus, each distance is the same. P = 1. Filling in what we have now:
which simplifies to

Now we will solve it for x.
and
so

1/4 because 0.25 is the same thing as 25/100. 25/100 simplified is 1/4
