The focus of a parabola is (−5,−1) and the directrix is y=−3.

(x+5)^2=4(y+2)

the equation for a parabola with focus (h, k+p) and directrix y=k-p is 
(x-h)^2=4p(y-k)

so using your directrix y=-3, and knowing directrix is y=k-p, you have 
-3=k-p.
similarly, knowing the focus is defined by (h,k+p) and your focus is (-5,-1)
you have the equation -1=k+p.

you now have a system of equations
-3=k-p \\ -1=k+p
which you can solve using any method, I will use elimination.
adding down
-4=2k \\ -2=k
you now have k and can find p using either equation. 
-3=k-p \\ -3=-2-p \\ -1=-p \\ 1=p.

now you plug those in, getting the answer
(x+5)^2=4(y+2)

Mauricio hits a baseball 4 times as often as Tony each game. He also hits 20 baseball's every Monday at practice. How many baseb
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

36 hits

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose Tony hits the ball x times and Mauricio hits a baseball 4 times as often as Tony each game.

So, Mauricio's hit = 4x

<em />

If Tony hits at the game, then Mauricio will hit 4 times as many times + the 20 at practice on mondays

<h2><em>Equation</em></h2><h3><em>4x + 20</em></h3>

<em />

<em>That means if Tony hit 4, Mauricio will hit </em>

<h2><em>4(4) + 20 = 36</em></h2>

Thus, Mauricio will hit 36 balls this week.

kumpel [21]

Answer:36

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{4}{7} =\frac{48\\}{84}

for every 7 students there are 4 girls, so for every 84 there must be 48

7*12=84

4*12=48

so, in all 84 students there are 48 girls

so amount of boys=84-48=36

there are 36 boys
