Check the picture below.
now, we know the directrix is at y = 1, and the focus point is at 1,3, well, notice the picture, the distance between those fellows is just 2 units.
the vertex is half-way between those fellows, therefore, the vertex will be at 1,2.
the distance "p", from the vertex to either the directrix or focus, is really just 1 unit. Since the focus point is above the directrix, is a vertical parabola, and it opens upwards, like in the picture, and since it opens up, the "p" value is positive, or +1.

Answer:
The solution of the equations are -6 and 1
Step-by-step explanation:
* <em>Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>
- We want to find the solution of the equation (x + 2) (x + 3) = 12
- <em>At first lets use the Foil method to multiply the two brackets</em>
(x + 2) (x + 3) = (x)(x) + (x)(3) + (2)(x) + (2)(3)
(x + 2) (x + 3) = x² + 3x + 2x + 6 ⇒ add the like term
(x + 2) (x + 3) = x² + 5x + 6
∵ (x + 2) (x + 3) = 12
∴ x² + 5x + 6 = 12
- Subtract 12 from both sides
∴ x² + 5x - 6 = 0
- <em>Factorize the left hand side</em>
∵ x² = (x)(x)
∵ -6 = 6 × -1
∵ 6x + -1x = 5x
∴ (x + 6)(x - 1) = 0
- <em>Lets use the zero product property </em>
∵ (x + 6)(x - 1) = 0
∴ x + 6 = 0 ⇒ <em>OR</em> ⇒ x - 1 = 0
∵ x + 6 = 0
- Subtract 6 from both sides
∴ x = -6
∵ x - 1 = 0
- Add 1 to both sides
∴ x = 1
∴ The solution of the equations are -6 and 1

After 2 weeks, under no risk of spiders, the population of the flies is calculated by the function as

.
Similarly, we calculate s(2)=2(2)+5=4+5=9, which means that the spider consumes 9 flies in 2 weeks.
Thus, out of 32 flies, 9 are eaten by the spider, so there are 32-9=23 flies left.
Answer: 23
