First, let

be a point in our parabola. Since we know that the focus of our parabola is the point (0,8), we are going to use the distance formula to find the distance between the two points:

Next, we are going to find the distance between the directrix and the point in our parabola. Remember that the distance between a point (x,y) of a parabola and its directrix,

, is:

. Since our directrix is y=-8, the distance to our point will be:


Now, we are going to equate those two distances, and square them to get rid of the square root and the absolute value:



Finally, we can expand and solve for

:




We can conclude that t<span>he standard form of the equation of the parabola with a focus at (0, 8) and a directrix at y = -8 is </span>
Answer:
240 calories
Step-by-step explanation
You're doubling the amount of fudge, so double the amount of calories. You could also think of it as 2 4-oz portions of fudge, then just add the calories (120+120) together.
Answer:
The domain will be all real numbers, range will be all real numbers below -3
Step-by-step explanation:
its quadratic so it goes forever left and right. but the vertex has a y value of -3. It is a negative sloped graph, so anything below that is in the range
BC and BCE are Before Common Era
So what you want to do is add 1952 and 384
1952 + 384 = 2336
So the amount of years between 384 BC and 1952 AD is about 2,336 years
Hope this helps
