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.

Tju [1.3M]

Answer: 10

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

 (\frac{1}{2}+\frac{3}{4})÷\frac{1}{8}

= (\frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{2})+\frac{3}{4})÷\frac{1}{8}

= (\frac{2}{4}+\frac{3}{4})÷\frac{1}{8}

= (\frac{5}{4})÷\frac{1}{8}

= (\frac{5}{4})x\frac{8}{1}

= \frac{40}{4}

= 10

For every 1 litre of water used to make a medicine, 269ml of sucrose and 47ml of saline solution are used. Express the amount of
leonid [27]

Answer:

1000 : 269 : 47

Step-by-step explanation:

A ratio is a way of comparing the value or amount of one quantity to another.

We are to find the ration of water to sucrose to saline solution, hence, it must remain in that order.

Water : Sucrose : Saline solution

The amount of water is 1 litre (1 * 1000 ml = 1000 ml)

The amount of sucrose is 269 ml

The amount of saline solution is 47 ml

Therefore, the ratio of water to sucrose to saline solution is:

W : S : SS = 1000 : 269 : 47

Since 1000, 269 and 47 have no common factors, that is the simplest form of the ratio.
