Answer:

The equation of parabola is given by:

(y-k)^2 = 4a(x-h)

where,

(h, k) is the vertex.

Focus = (h+a, k)

As per the statement:

A parabola has a vertex at (0,0).

⇒y^2 = 4ax

The focus of the parabola is located at (4,0).

⇒(h+a, k) = (4, 0)

⇒(a, 0) = (4, 0)

⇒a = 4

then, equation become:

y^2 = 16x

We have to find the equation of directrix

The equation of directrix is, x = h-a

then;

x = 0-4 = -4

⇒x = -4

Therefore, the equation of directrix is, x = -4

Carmen deposited $6,000 into a savings account that earns 2.8% interest compounded annually. How much will she have in her accou
Anna [14]

To help Carmen find the total after 3 years

We'll have to use the annual compound interest formula: A = P(1 + r)ⁿ

A = Final balance (?)

P = Principal balance (6000)

r = Rate (0.028)

n = years (3)

A = 6000(1 + 0.028)³

A = 6000(1.028)³

A = 6000(1.086373952)

A = 6518.243712

Round that to the nearest cent, and we get $<u>6,518.24 </u>as the answer.

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

B. Brook finished in 100 minutes, so Lamont was faster.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 hour = 60 Minutes

60 minutes + 40 minutes = 100 Minutes.

If you run and you have more minutes then someone else that means you ran for a longer time and your a little bit slower?
