Focus has coordinates (0, a)
a = -3
Thus, 4a = 4(-3) = -12
Because a is negative, we know it will be a concave down or concave left parabola. Hence, A and D can be eliminated. And we know it has to be B because the directrix is the horizontal line y = 3. Hence, the equation of the parabola becomes:

or
Answer:
His position is now on -18 below sea level
Step-by-step explanation:
So since Tomas is 15 feet below sea level, that means that it's -15. He rose 9 feet which now he is -6 feet below sea level. Now he descends 12 feet which means he goes back down and now he is at -18 below sea level.
7033/10000 is the answer you're looking for
These tables have infinitely many values, but the simplest ones would be:
a) x|y
3|5
6|10
9|15
b) x|y
2|1
4|2
6|3
Your graph for c would look like the attached picture
A.) A = 20000 + 1000n
B = 20000(1.04)^n
b.) For A, sn = n/2(2a + (n - 1)d)
s20 = 20/2(2(20000) + 1000(20 - 1)) = 10(40000 + 19(1000)) = 10(40000 + 19000) = 10(59000) = $590,000
For B, sn = a(r^n - 1)/(r - 1)
s20 = 20000((1.04)^20 - 1)/(1.04 - 1) = 20000(2.191 - 1)/0.04 = 20000(1.191)/0.04 = 23822.46 / 0.04 = $595,561.57
c.) Using a graphing calculator, it takes 18 years for the
