First, let

be a point in our parabola. Since we know that the focus of our parabola is the point (0,8), we are going to use the distance formula to find the distance between the two points:

Next, we are going to find the distance between the directrix and the point in our parabola. Remember that the distance between a point (x,y) of a parabola and its directrix,

, is:

. Since our directrix is y=-8, the distance to our point will be:


Now, we are going to equate those two distances, and square them to get rid of the square root and the absolute value:



Finally, we can expand and solve for

:




We can conclude that t<span>he standard form of the equation of the parabola with a focus at (0, 8) and a directrix at y = -8 is </span>
If
x+y=-4
y-3x=16 or we cn write as
x+y=-4
-3x+y=16
i multiply the first equation by 3
3x+3y=-12
-3x+ y=16
4y=4
y=1
x+1=-4
x=-5
Example of integers are -5 ,1 ,5 , 8 , 97 and 3,043
Sandy ran 5 ½ during the second hour.
- Total amount Sandy used to jog for 2 hours = 13 miles
- Amount Sandy used to run in the 1st hour = 7 ½
<h2>Further Explanation</h2>
Therefore the amount Sandy used to run in the 2nd hour = Total amount Sandy used to jog for 2 hours – Amount Sandy used to run in the 1st hour
= 13 – 7 ½ (and can be expressed as 7 + ½)
= 13 – (7 + ½)
= 13 – 7 – ½
= 6 – ½ (otherwise expressed as 6/1 – 1/2)
= (6 x 2) – (1 x 1) / 2
= (12) – (1) / 2
= 12 – 1 / 2
= 11/2
= 5 ½
Hence, Sandy ran 5 ½ miles during the second hour.
Based on the above expression, it is observed that there is an element of fractions in the math problem. Also, BODMAS was clearly used to derive the solution to the given question.
Recall, 13 – (7 + ½). The mathematical signs, (–) and (+) were multiplied; one of mathematics rule states that – x + = –; thus 13 – 7 – ½
Notably, fractions deal with denominators and numerators; and in these questions, with the help of BODMAS, they (6/1 – 1/2) were used to factor each other out to derive the final answer 5 ½.
