4. Suppose that you have an enormous grapefruit that is 92% water (by weight). The grapefruit weights 100 pounds. If the water c
1 answer:
Answer:
80 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let W₁ be the initial weight of water in the grapefruit, W₂ be the weight of water in the grapefruit after evaporation, and M be the total weight of the grapefruit after evaporation. Assuming that, originally, the grapefruit weighed 100 pounds with a 92% water content and the weight of the "non-water" part of the fruit (100 - W₁) does not change. The final weight of the grapefruit (M) is given by:
The grapefruit now weighs 80 pounds.

let's notice something, the parabola is a vertical one, so the squared variable is the x, and is opening downwards, meaning the x² will have a negative coefficient.
the distance from the vertex to the directrix/focus is the amount of "p" units, let's see in the graph, the distance from the vertex to the directrix is 2, and since the parabola is opening downwards, "p" is a negative 2, p = -2. The vertex is of course at (0, 2).
