If all the equations for the directrix are "x = " lines then this is a y^2 parabola. The actual equation is

. The standard form for a positive sideways-opening parabola is

. We know from the equation that the vertex of the parabola is at the origin, or else the translation would be reflected within the parenthesis in the equation. Our equation has no parenthesis to indicate movement from the origin. The vertex is (0, 0). Got that out of the way. That simplifies our standard form down to

. Let's take a look at our equation now. It is

. We could rewrite it and make it a closer match to the standard form if we multiply both sides by 8 to get rid of the fraction. That gives us an equation that looks like this:

. That means that 4p = 8, and p = 2. p is the distance that the focus and the directrix are from the vertex. Since this is a positive parabola, it opens up to the right. Which means, then, that the focus is to the right of the vertex, 2 units to be exact, and the directrix is 2 units to the left of the vertex. The formula for the focus is (h + p, k). Our h is 0, our k is 0 and our p is 2, so the coordinates of the focus are (2, 0). Going 2 units to the left of the origin then puts our directrix at the line x = -2. Your choice then as your answer is b.

Answer:
the listed sequences have no common difference(s)
Step-by-step explanation:
The differences in the first sequence are ...
8, 10, -1, 19
These values are not equal, so there is no common difference.
__
The differences in the second sequence are ...
-3, 3, -3, 3
These values are not equal, so there is no common difference.
_____
The difference is the difference between a term value and the one before.
1 -(-7) = 8
3 -6 = -3
Simplify
4ax+12-3ax=25+3a
ax+12=25+3a
ax-3a=25-12
a(x-3)=13
Answer:
<em>The order of subtraction is not important in any of the coordinates</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance Between Two Points
Given two points (x1,y2) (x2,y2), the distance between them is given by the formula

The difference between both coordinates is squared, then added, and finally extracted the square root.
Based on the principle that

and also

We can notice it doesn't matter the sign of a the square of a is always positive. If we had subtracted in the opposite way, the distance would have resulted in exactly the same. In other words, the above formula is exactly the same as

As seen, it applies for both coordinates
The interest figure always means the interest for a year.
120 days is 1/3 of a year, so you'll only earn 1/3 of 6.5% .
6.5% = 0.065
1/3 of that is 0.02167 .
(0.02167) x (7,000) = 151.67
