Since y is the suqraed term, it opens left or right
in this form it is
(y-k)²=4p(x-h)

(h,k) is the vertex
if p is negative then it opens to the left and directix is to the right of the vertex
if p is positve then it opens to the right and directix is to the left of the vertex
p is the distance from vertex to directix


so
(y-0)²=4(-6)(x-0)
the vertex is (0,0)
-6 is negative
so
vertex is (0,0)
directix is 6 unts to the right of (0,0) or at x=6

the directix is x=6

A nest of ants has been growing exponentially in such a way that its population, P, as a function of w weeks is given by P(w)=24
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

0.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

A nest of ant is represented by the exponential growth function :

P(w)=24,000(1.063)^w

Where w = number of weeks

Recall :

Growth function is generally represented as :

P(t) = A(1 + r)^t

Where ; A is the initial population figure; r = growth rate and t = time

Hence, the growth rate per week of the function given is :

(1 + r) = 1.063

r = 1.063 - 1

r = 0.063

Number of days in a week = 7

Hence, growth rate per day = r /7

0.063 / 7

= 0.009

(0.009 * 100%) = 0.9%

Determine the exact and approximate circumference of the circle.
madam [21]

Answer:

C (circumference) =2×π×r

we've got a 30-60-90 triangle

which means 9=d√3, d=5.19 exact inches

or ≈5.20 inches

d=2r, r=5.20÷2≈2.60 inches

C=2×3.14×2.60≈16.328

Two airlines offer special group rates to your school’s Spanish Club for a trip to Mexico City. Mexican Air airline offers a rou
Finger [1]

Answer:

a. The Mexican Airline offers a better deal for 9 students to travel.  

b. 10 students

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The Mexican Air airline offers a round trip airfare of $250 per person.

So, for 9 students the fare will be total $(250 × 9) = $2250

Now, the Fiesta airline offers a round trip airfare of $150 per person if the club agrees to pay a one-time group rate processing fee of $1000.

So, for 9 students the total fare will be = $[1000 + (150 × 9)] =$2350.

Therefore, the Mexican Airline offers a better deal for 9 students to travel.  (Answer)

b. Let for x students both the airline offers the same total costs.

Then we can write  

250x = 1000 + 150x {From the conditions given}

⇒ 100x = 1000

⇒ x = 10

So, if the number of students is 10, then only both the airlines will take same fare. (Answer)
