A farmer grows corn, tomatoes, and sunflowers on a 320-acre farm. This year, the farmer wants to plant twice as many acres of to

matoes as acres of sunflowers. The farmer also wants to plant 40 more acres of corn than tomatoes. How many acres of each crop should the farmer plant?

Set it up with variables; tomatoes=t, sunflowers=s, corn=c

320=t+s+c

This year;
t=2s   
c=t+40

so, replace 2s for t; c=2s+40 

now we can put those factors in for 320=t+c+s

320= 2s+2s+40+s
(SIMPLIFY)---> 320=5s+40----> 5s+280----> s=56 

now incorporate the s value into the other equations. 

c=2s+40----> c=56(2)=40 ----> c=152 
t=2s -----> t=2(56) ----> t=112

TOMATOES= 112 acres
CORN= 152 acres
SUNFLOWERS= 56 acres

To check your work: 320=t+s+c ----> 320=112+156+56

Arrange the parabolas represented by the equations in increasing order with respect to the y-values of their directrixes.

(x-h)^2=4P(y-k), vertex is (h,k)
P is distance from vertex to directix
remember to subtract P from the y value of the vertex (p-k) and that y value is the directix, y=p-k

nut
ok so one way is to just graph them on a graphing utility
remember if the graph opens up, then the directix is below that
or we can convert to 4P(y-k)=(x-h)^2 form where P is distance from directix

I will only convert the 1st one fully, you should be able to do the rest

1. y=-x^2+3x+8
multiply both sides by -1 since we don't like the x^2 term negative
-y=x^2-3x-8
add8 to both sides
-y+8=x^2-3x
take 1/2 of linear coeficient and square it and add to both sides
-3/2=-1.5
 (-1.5)^2=2.25
-y+10.25=x^2-3x+2.25
factor perfect square
-y+10.25=(x-1.5)^2
force undistribute -1 in left side
(-1)(y-10.25)=something, we don't care anymore for now
factor out a 4 in -1
4(-1/4)(y-10.25)

k=10.25
p=-1/4=-0.25
directix=k-p=10.25-(-0.25)=10.5
directix is y=10.5

basically completee the square with x and find P by force factoring a 4 out

2.  directix: y=-1.75

3. directix: y=1.5

4. directix: y=17.25

5. d: -37.5

6. d: 9.25

7. d=2.625

order them yourself
