Derive the equation of the parabola with a focus at (-5, 5) and a directrix of y = -1. (2 points) Please help

We see that the the parabola opens up since directix is below the focus

for an parabolla opening up/down with vetex at (h,k) and the distance from teh vertex to the focus is p
(x-h)^2=4p(y-k)
the distance from vertex to directex is the same as from focus to directix

from (-5,5) and y=-1
that is  a vertical distance of 6
vertex is in the middle
6/2=3
5-3=2
the vertex is at (-5,2)
the distance is 3
(x-(-5))^2=4(3)(y-(2))
(x+5)^2=12(y-2)
y=\frac{1}{12}(x+5)^2+2

Give an example of a real number that is irrational
Nina [5.8K]
Pi, which begins with 3.14, is one of the most common irrational numbers. Pi is determined by calculating the ratio of the circumference of a circle (the distance around the circle) to the diameter of that same circle (the distance across the circle). Pi has been calculated to over a quadrillion decimal places, but no pattern has ever been found; therefore it is an irrational number.The Square Root of 2, written as √2, is also an irrational number. The first part of this number would be written as 1.41421356237…but the numbers go on into infinity and do not ever repeat, and they do not ever terminate. A square root is the opposite of squaring a number, meaning that the square root of two times the square root of two equals two.  This means that 1.41421356237… multiplied by 1.41421356237… equals two, but it is difficult to be exact in showing this because the square root of two does not end, so when you actually do the multiplication, the resulting number will be close to two, but will not actually be two exactly. Because the square root of two never repeats and never ends, it is an irrational number. Many other square roots and cubed roots are irrational numbers; however, not all square roots are.

5y + 3 = 2y - 3x + 5 as a function in "y=..." form (please show work)
vlabodo [156]
Hey there!

In order to solve this equation for y, you need to use addition, subtraction, and division to combine and simplify the terms. You do this by first eliminating the terms, which you do by completing whatever will make each term equal to zero. Then, you'll repeat this same thing on the other side of the equation, like so:

<span>5y + 3 = 2y – 3x + 5
     – 3                 – 3
</span>
5y = 2y – 3x + 2

As you can see, I subtracted three from +3 the left side to cancel it out, then repeated that on the right side to the similar term (the constant). Now, just repeat that with your other terms until your equation is equal to y. 

   5y = 2y – 3x + 2
+ 2y + 2y

<u>7y</u> = <u>–3x + 2</u>
7          7

y = <u>–3x + 2</u>
            7

When you can't simplify any more, you have your answer. y will be equal to –3x + 2 over 7. 

Hope this helped you out! :-)

Johan is selling baseball cards for 12$ each.he is selling 8 cards and says hell make it 8$ how is it reasonable if the awnser i
pshichka [43]
Assuming you meant...

'Johan is selling baseball cards for 12$ each. He is selling 8 cards and says he'll make 8$ profit. How is it reasonable if the answer is correct?'


The answer is reasonable if he is only making a $1 profit per baseball card. For example if he bought the baseball cards for $11 and is selling them for $12, than he only makes $1 for every cards sold. If he sells 8cards, he'll make an $8 profit.
