Answer:

Solution: y - 4 = 1 / 12(x + 4)² or Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the directrix is vertical, use the equation of a parabola that opens up or down -

(x - h)² = 4p(y - k)

Remember that the vertex, (h, k) is halfway between the directrix and focus. Therefore we can find the  y  coordinate of the vertex using the formula y = y coordinate of focus + directrix / 2.The  x -coordinate will be the same as the  x  coordinate of the focus.

Vertex: (- 4, 7 + 1 / 2) = (- 4,4)

Now we can find the distance from the focus to the vertex. The distance  from the vertex to the directrix is  represented by | p |. We can subtract the  y  coordinate of the vertex from the  y -coordinate of the focus to find  p.

p = 7 - 4 = 3

Substitute the known values for these variables into the given equation (x - h)² = 4p(y - k) to get our solution.

(x + 4)² = 4(3)(y - 4),

(x + 4)² = 12(y - 4)

1 / 12(x + 4)² = y - 4

y - 4 = 1 / 12(x + 4)² ~ As you can see your solution is option b.

Vilka [71]

Lets see

  • Volume=Length ×Breadth ×Height

B=9 1/2=9.5in

L=14in

Now

  • 665=14(9.5)H
  • 665=133H
  • H=5in

Answer: substancially lower / more to the left

If the data is skewed to the left the mean will be moved more to the left so it will decrease. The mean is greatly changed by the skew of the data
