Mathematics

Veseljchak [2.6K]3 years ago
3 0

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.

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

25.

Combine like terms.

4t+7=-33

subtract 7 from both sides

4t=-40

divide both sides by 4

t=-10

26.

Subtract 2a from both sides

5=7a-16

add 16 to both sides

21=7a

divideby 7 on both sides

a = 3
