Answer:

y=\frac{1}{14}x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The directrix of the parabola is perpendicular to the axis of symmetry of the parabola

In this problem  the directrix is y=-3.5

so

The axis of symmetry is parallel to the y-axis

we have a vertical parabola

Also, the vertex is at the origin

That means-----> the parabola open upward

The equation of a vertical parabola can be written as

x^2=4py

where

p is the distance between the vertex and the directrix

In this problem

the distance between the vertex and the directrix is 3.5

p=3.5 ----> the value of p is positive because the parabola open upward

substitute

x^2=4(3.5)y

x^2=14y

isolate the variable y

y=\frac{1}{14}x^2

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

$103968.11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

Principal amount = $240,000

Rate of interest = 1.2% = 0.012

Number of years = 30

Number of times in an year = 24

Formula for amount:

where

P is principal, r is rate of interest, t is number of years, n is number of times interest compounded in a year.

Now,

Hence, the interest is $103968.11.
