ANSWER

The correct answer is C.

EXPLANATION

  • The directrix of the parabolas are parallel to the x-axis.
  • This means that, the orientation of the parabola is parallel to the y-axis.
  • We compare the focus and the directrix to determine whether the parabola opens downwards or upwards.
  • If the directrix is above the focus, then the parabola opens downwards.
  • On the other hand if the directrix is below the focus , then the parabola must open upwards.
  • If you look at option C, y=-2 isthe directrix. The focus is (3,-5). Since the the y-value of the focus , -5 is less than y=-2 which is the directrix, this parabola must open down.

The correct answer is C.

6c - (3 – 3c) = 24<br> Solve equation step by step
kap26 [50]

Hi there! :)

\large\boxed{c = 3}

6c - (3 - 3c) = 24

Distribute the negative sign with terms inside the parenthesis;

6c - (3) - (-3c) = 24

6c - 3 + 3c = 24

Combine like terms:

9c - 3 = 24

Add 3 to both sides:

9c = 27

Divide both sides by 9:

c = 3.
