There was 16 apples in the first box and 8 apples in the second box initially.

Answer:

16 in first and 8 in second

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of apples be x in the first box then the number in the second box will be 24-x

if we half the number of apples in first box we get  \frac{x}{2}

And we add 4 apples in the second box we get 24-x+4=28-x

Since the apples in the two boxes were 20  we get

\frac{x}{2}+28-x=20

x+56-2x=40

After simplification we get:

x=16

Hence, number of apples in first box were x that is 16

And number of apples in second box were 24-x that is 24-16 is 8

What is the equation of the quadratic graph with a focus of (1 ,3) and a directrix of y=1?
zimovet [89]
Check the picture below.

now, we know the directrix is at y = 1, and the focus point is at 1,3, well, notice the picture, the distance between those fellows is just 2 units.

the vertex is half-way between those fellows, therefore, the vertex will be at 1,2.

the distance "p", from the vertex to either the directrix or focus, is really just 1 unit.  Since the focus point is above the directrix, is a vertical parabola, and it opens upwards, like in the picture, and since it opens up, the "p" value is positive, or +1.

\bf \textit{parabola vertex form with focus point distance}\\\\
\begin{array}{llll}
4p(x- h)=(y- k)^2
\\\\
\boxed{4p(y- k)=(x- h)^2}
\end{array}
\qquad 
\begin{array}{llll}
vertex\ ( h, k)\\\\
 p=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\
\qquad \textit{ focus or directrix}
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\begin{cases}
h=1\\
k=2\\
p=1
\end{cases}\implies 4(1)(y-2)=(x-1)^2\implies 4(y-2)=(x-1)^2
\\\\\\
y-2=\cfrac{1}{4}(x-1)^2\implies y=\cfrac{1}{4}(x-1)^2+2

alekssr [168]

Answer:

The slope is 10 and the y intercept 0

Step-by-step explanation:

m is 10 and c is 0. The reason why is because m is the slope and c is the y intercept.
