The equation of the parabola is (x + 5)² = 8(y + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the equation of the parabola in standard form

  • The standard form is (x - h)² = 4p(y - k)
  • The vertex is (h , k)
  • The focus is (h, k + p)

∵ The vertex of the parabola is (-5 , -4)

- The coordinates of the vertex are (h , k)

∴ h = -5 and k = -4

∵ The focus is (-5 , -2)

- The focus is (h , k + p)

∴ k + p = -2

∵ k = -4

∴ -4 + p = -2

- Add 4 to both sides

∴ p = 2

- Substitute the values of h , k , p in the form of the equation

∵ The equation of the parabola is (x - h)² = 4p(y - k)

∴ (x - -5)² = 4(2)(y - -4)

∴ (x + 5)² = 8(y + 4)

The equation of the parabola is (x + 5)² = 8(y + 4)

Patterns start at the same place 9 times

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 19 feet is 228 inches.

2. 8-inch pattern is fully printed 28 times.

3. 12-inch pattern is fully printed 19 times.

4. 8-inch patterns starts at`0,8,16,24,32,40,48...

5. 12-inch pattern starts at 0,12,24,48...

6. As you see they start at the same place after 24 inches.

7. 228/24=9.5, => They start at the same place 9 times.

Answer:

The answer is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you do the parentheses first, you will figure out what why is. Y = 3, because 3*3 =9, and 9-9=0.

Hey there! :D

So, we want to multiply that by 2. The table represents one year at Weatherford College. 

8,965*2= 17,930 

I heard the question mention 'reasonable'. It also said 'meet the cost'. So I would assume that 17,930 meets most of the cost. I think that's what it wanted to have. A couple thousand dollars may be reasonable, but will it meet the cost? Probably not. 

I would say "A" is the best answer.

I hope this helps!
