You plot the point of the focus and the directrix on the graph to determine where the parabola opens.
We are provided the general forms of parabola according to its opening if:
it opens upward: (x - h)<span>² = 4a(y - k)
</span>it opens downward: (x - h)<span>² = -4a(y - k)
where "h" and "k" are the coordinates of the vertex, and "a" is the focal length from the focus to the vertex.

As you plot, the directrix y = 9 is a horizontal line, and the focus at (0,-9) is below that directrix. So, it means that the parabola opens downward (and not upward because the parabola must not touch to the directrix).</span> Next, identity the vertex (h,k). Note that the vertex is the midpoint between the focus and the point of the directrix. So the vertex is (0,0). Then, the focal length "a" is 9.
Hence, the equation is
(x - 0)<span>² = -4(9)(y - 0)
x</span><span>² = -36y</span>

Going off of the answer above:

x² = -36y

we need to make it in y= form

so the answer is y=-(1/36)*x^2

A company that makes? hair-care products had 7000 people try a new shampoo. Of the 7000 ?people, 42 had a mild allergic reaction
hram777 [196]

Answer: Percent of people who had a mild allergic is 0.6%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Total number of people try a new shampoo = 7000

Number of people had a mild allergic reaction = 42

We need to find the "Percentage of people had a mild allergic":

Percentage of people had a mild allergic is given by

 \frac{\text{ Total number of people who had a mild allergic}}{\text{ Total number of people}}\times 100\\\\=\frac{42}{7000}\times 100\\\\=\frac{42}{70}\\\\=0.6\%

Hence, Percent of people who had a mild allergic is 0.6%.

❤❤❤please help on this
shtirl [24]

Since you answered the first 2 i can go to c and d.

C can really be anything since it's being multiplied by 0 no matter what you put there it will be 0.

But for D it's 1/10^2

Hope this helps ^^

Type the correct answer in the box. Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar. The length of each
aleksley [76]

Answer:

15 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose length of original square is L inches.

Now, to form a new square the length increases by 2.5 inches

So, new length=L+2.5 inches

Given that, perimeter of new square =70 inches.

Formula:-

        Perimeter=4*length of square

Therefore 70=4*(L+2.5)

                   70 =4 L+10

                   4 L=60

                  L=15 inches
