The answer is a.
When you are solving problems like this you would use the equation y^2=4ax. The x and Y would be the coordinates. Based on the equation you have given the coordinates would be (6,12) and (6,-12), (24 is split up evenly between the y-axis).
Then we go on to solve the equation by plugging in the numbers 12^2=4a(6)
144=24a
144/24=24a/24
6=a
X2 + 5x - 6 =0
(x +6)(x-1)=0
Answer:
478 people
Step-by-step explanation:
All you need to do for this problem is simply multiply 239 by 2. If the first 6 rows are 239 people, and so are the next 6, that's all you need to do.
239*2=478
A negative times a negative is a positive. I am not sure if that's the question, but hopefully that helps if it was.
