I am not sure but I think you have to multiply 538 and 9 and get 4842 then divide 4842 by 15 and get 322.8. ( I am not sure if I'm right ).
Answer: 3.5
Step-by-step explanation: Because the 4 and 1 aren’t big enough to change the 5 to go up the final answer would be 3.5 but if the 4 were to be a 5 or a number higher than the 5 would change to a 6.
Given:
The focus of the parabola is at (6,-4).
Directrix at y=-7.
To find:
The equation of the parabola.
Solution:
The general equation of a parabola is:
...(i)
Where, (h,k) is vertex, (h,k+p) is the focus and y=k-p is the directrix.
The focus of the parabola is at (6,-4).

On comparing both sides, we get

...(ii)
Directrix at y=-7. So,
...(iii)
Adding (ii) and (iii), we get



Putting
in (ii), we get



Putting
in (i), we get


Therefore, the equation of the parabola is
.
The answer for either field being harvested is 6.25 days (acres/(rate of harvest))
The answer is probably seven because, even though a day can be divided into parts, the fields are done the seventh not the sixth. (I'm assuming the problem calls for whole days)
