Since there are 26 students in Mr. Carson's class, and each kid gets 3 pencils, that means we will multiply 26 and 3, in which we get 78. Now, since boxes of pencils only contain a dozen, which is 12 pencils, we will divide 78 by twelve, in which we get 6.5 boxes. You can't buy half a box, so he will need 7 boxes, since having 6 boxes means that you don't have enough pencils.
Hope this helps!
Where p is the distance the focus is above the vertex, the equation of a parabola with vertex (h, k) can be written as
... y = 1/(4p)·(x -h)² +k
The vertex is halfway between the focus and directrix. The focus of your parabola is on the y-axis at y=6, and the directrix of your parabola is at y=-6, so the vertex of your parabola is on the y-axis at y=0. That is, the vertex is
... (h, k) = (0, 0).
The distance p from the focus at y=6 to the vertex at y=0 is 6 units, so
... p = 6.
Filling these values into the equation gives
... y = 1/(4·6)·(x -0)² +0
... y = (1/24)x²
Answer: 4,000,000
Step-by-step explanation: This is the amount that exceeds of what they actually should be spending or using I guess.
