 <span>A parabola that has a horizontal directrix is a parabola that opens up or down. 

Here are some of its components: 
1) Standard equation of a parabola with a horizontal directrix: (x-h)^2 = 4a(y-k), 
a = distance from vertex to focus 
2) Vertex at (h,k) 
3) Focus(h,k+a) 
4) Directrix: y = k-a 
5) Axis of symmetry: x = h 

A parabola that has a vertical directrix opens to the right or left and is on its side. 

Here are some components 
1) Standard equation of a parabola with a vertical directrix: (y-k)^2 = 4a(x-h) 
2) vertex (h,k) 
3) focus (h+a,k) 
4) directrix: x = h-a 
5) Axis of symmetry: y = k

Hopes this helps :)</span>

Explain why functions with the property f(–x) = –f(x) are called odd functions and functions with the property f(–x) = f(x) are
anastassius [24]

Answer:

The functions with the property f(–x) =f(x) are called even functions because they symmetric about the y-axis and The functions with the property f(–x) = -f(x) are called odd because these function are symmetric about the origin .

Step-by-step explanation:

The functions with the property f(–x) =f(x) are called even functions because they symmetric about the y-axis . In other words these functions usually take a form x^2 ,x^4 ,x^6 ,x^8 etc . However ,there are other functions that behave like that too, such as cos(x).An even exponent does not always make an even function, for example (x+1)^2 is not an even function .

The functions with the property f(–x) = -f(x) are called odd because these function are symmetric about the origin . In other words they are called odd because of the functions like x, x^3 ,x^5 ,x^7, etc .but there are other functions that behave like that, too, such sin(x) .but an odd exponent does not always make an odd function, for example x3+1 is not an odd function.

What is the volume of a rectangular prism whose length is 2x+1 units, width is x-2 units, and whose height is 3x units?
Helen [10]

Answer:

V = 6x^3 - 9x^2 - 6x (which matches the third answer choice)

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectangular prism of length L, depth W and height H is

V = L * W * H.

Thus,

in this case,

V = (2x + 1)(x - 2)(3x).

The order in which we multiply these quantities together is immaterial.

Working from left to right, we get:

V = (2x^2 - 3x - 2)(3x), and then:

V = 6x^3 - 9x^2 - 6x (which matches the third answer choice)
