Answer:

a. 8.5 in.

b. 34 in

c. x = 1/39 x^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a.

x = 1/34 y^2

y^2 = 34x

Comparing with y^2 = 4px where p is the focus:

4p = 34

p = 8.5 in.

Part b.

The diameter = 4p = 34 in.

Part c.

Diameter = 4p = 34 + 5 = 39 in

The new equation is x = 1/39 x^2.

gladu [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

to convert pounds into ounces you'd

actually multiply 16 by 30:

30 * 16

you're doing this because if one pound equals 16 ounces, if you have 30 pounds then you must've had more ounces. therefore you'd multiply.

which is 480 pounds

cross multiply
5*175=7x
875=7x
\frac{875}7=x
125=x
