Check the picture below.  So the parabola looks more or less like so.

let's recall that the vertex is half-way between the focus point and the directrix, at "p" units away from both.

Let's notice that the focus point is below the directrix, that means the parabola is vertical, namely the squared variable is the "x", and it also means that it's opening downwards as  you see in the picture, namely that "p" is negative, in this case "p" is 1 unit, and thus is -1.

\bf \textit{parabola vertex form with focus point distance} \\\\ \begin{array}{llll} 4p(x- h)=(y- k)^2 \\\\ \stackrel{\textit{we'll use this one}}{4p(y- k)=(x- h)^2} \end{array} \qquad \begin{array}{llll} vertex\ ( h, k)\\\\ p=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\ \qquad \textit{ focus or directrix} \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \begin{cases} h=-2\\ k=5\\ p=-1 \end{cases}\implies 4(-1)(y-5)=[x-(-2)]^2\implies -4(y-5)=(x+2)^2 \\\\\\ y-5=-\cfrac{1}{4}(x+2)^2\implies y=-\cfrac{1}{4}(x+2)^2+5

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

I think you should go with the second option

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes the 12 dozen gets you more but when you do the math you are spending $93 on them and I don’t think anyone wants to do that. And yes you are getting less in the other option but it is more cost effective.

I hope this helps!
