Answer:
C. 1/(4a)
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume you're comparing the vertex form ...
y = a(x -h)^2 +k
to the form used to write the equation in terms of the focal distance p.
y = 1/(4p)(x -h)^2 +k
That comparison tells you ...
a = 1/(4p)
p = 1/(4a) . . . . . . multiply by p/a; matches choice C

<em>Additional comment</em>
When using plain text to write a rational expression, parentheses are needed around any denominator that has is more than a single constant or variable. The order of operations requires 1/4a to be interpreted as (1/4)a. The value of p is 1/(4a).
When rational expressions are typeset, the fraction bar serves as a grouping symbol identifying the entire denominator:
Answer: 19 + 14x ≤ 65
Explanation:
$19 is only added once because there is only one DVD purchased. $14 is added an unknown number of times, thus the variable X is included. We know that that the total number of dollars spent for both items is either less than or equal to 65. (Depending on your teacher, they may want you to write "19 + 14x < 65" if they want you to write the answer only for discrete numbers).
