Answer:

£8 889

Step-by-step explanation:

If a man earns 900% more than his original wage, it implies that the percentage of his original wage is 100% such that he earned 9 times his original wage. Thus 900/100 = 9

Therefore, his original wage is:

$\frac{80000}{9} = 8889$

The man's original wage is £8 889

Check

£8 889 × 9 = £80 001, approximately £80 000.

What is the equation of the parabola with a directrix at y = 4 and focus (0, -4).

Svet_ta [14]

Given that the directrix is at y = 4 and the focus is at (0, -4), then the vertex is at (h, k) = (0, 0).
p is the distance between the vertex and the focus and between the vertex and the directrix = 4 and since the focus is below the directrix, p is negative, i.e. p = -4
Equation of a parabola is given by (x - h)^2 = 4p(y - k)
Therefore, the required equation is (x - 0)^2 = 4(-4)(y - 0)
x^2 = -16y
y = -1/16 x^2
