What is an equation of a parabola with a vertex at the origin and directrix x=4.75?

An equation for the parabola would be y²=-19x.

Since we have x=4.75 for the directrix, this tells us that the parabola's axis of symmetry runs parallel to the x-axis.  This means we will use the standard form

(y-k)²=4p(x-h), where (h, k) is the vertex, (h+p, k) is the focus and x=h-p is the directrix.

Beginning with the directrix:

x=h-p=4.75
h-p=4.75

Since the vertex is at (0, 0), this means h=0 and k=0:

0-p=4.75
-p=4.75
p=-4.75

Substituting this into the standard form as well as our values for h and k we have:
(y-0)²=4(-4.75)(x-0)
y²=-19x

2 boxes for $6.00 5 Bars each is 10 bars for $6.00 or $3.00 for 5 bars

12 bars for $7.44 is $7.44 divided by 12 =.62 or 62 cents per bar

so the difference between 60 cents and 62 cents is

Find values of a and b that make the statement |a+b|= |a|+|b| false.
jok3333 [9.3K]

The values that make this statement falser are any in which a and b do not have the same sign.

For instance, if a was equal to 3 and b was equal to -3 than see the results.

|a+b|=

|3+-3|=

|0|= 0

Then see the next equation with the same selections

|a|+|b|

|3|+|-3|

3 + 3 = 6

And this would be true no matter which is the negative, as long as there is one negative and one positive.
