Answer:

  (a)  (x -3)^2 = -6(y +5.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola can be written as ...

  (x -h)^2 = 4p(y -k)

where (h, k) is the vertex, and p is the distance from the focus to the vertex.

The vertex is half-way between the focus and directrix, so is ...

  (h, k) = (1/2)((3, -7) +(3, -4)) = (3, -5.5)

The focus is at y=-7, and the vertex is at y=-5.5, so the distance between them is ...

  -7 -(-5.5) = -1.5

Then the equation for the parabola is ...

  (x -3)^2 = 4(-1.5)(y -(-5.5))

  (x -3)^2 = -6(y +5.5) . . . . matches the first choice

I need help finding the lateral area and surface area of this cylinder but I have to leave π in my answer. Can anyone help?
Pani-rosa [81]
The lateral surface of a cylinder can be found with the equation 

A = 2 π r h          Substitute in your values.
A = 2 π (11) (7)   Multiply 11 and 7.
A = 2 π (77)        Multiply 77 and 2.
A = 154π            Don't simplify anymore so you can keep pi in the answer.

The surface are uses the equation
 
A = 2 π r h + 2 π r²               Substitute in your values.
A = 2 π (11) (7) + 2 π (11)²   Simplify and multiply your terms.
A = 2 π (77) + 2 π (11)²
A = 154 π + 2 π (11)²
A = 154 π + 2 π (121)
A = 154 π + 242 π                Since both terms are in terms of pi, you can                                                 combine them.
A = 396π                              Stop simplifying to leave the answer in terms                                               of pi.
