Draw 24 circles, or sticks, or stars, and then draw 10 little squares in a row twice, and 4 separate square. In the explanation say that there are 24 of whatever shape or thing you decided to draw and, for the regrouped say that 10+10+4=24.
Hope This Helps :D
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between the focus and the directrix is the vertical distance from the point to the line:
1 -(-3) = 4
The vertex is half that distance between the point and the line, so is at x=2 and ...
y = (-3 +1)/2 = -1
The vertical scale factor of the quadratic is 1/(4p) where p is the distance from vertex to focus. Here, that distance is 2, so the equation in vertex form is ...
y = (1/(4·2))(x -2)² -1
y = (1/8)(x -2)² -1
_____
<em>Check</em>
Any point on the parabola is equidistant from the focus and directrix. This is easily checked at the vertex, which is halfway between focus and directrix, and at the points having the same y-value as the focus. Those two points are (-2, 1) and (6, 1), both of which are 4 units from the focus and 4 units from the directrix.
Your total expense would be 35$ because 25+10=35 and then since you are talking about money you add the money sign. Your answer would be 35$
For problem 2, you are correct in stating that a curve forms. Specifically, if we were to trace along the outer edge of the shape, then we'd form a <u>parabola</u> that has been tilted 45 degrees compared to the more familiar form that students are taught (where the axis of symmetry is vertical).
For more information, search out "Tangent method for parabolas". As the name implies, the tangent method draws out the tangents of the parabola which helps form the parabola itself.
Everything else on your paper is correct. You have problem 1 correct, and the table is filled out perfectly. Nice work.
Its nuts thats what it is
