Answer:

y^2=-8x

Step-by-step explanation:

The directrix intersects the x-axis at point (2,0). Points (-2,0) and (2,0) are symmetric about the origin, so the vertex of the parabola is placed at the origin (0,0).

The parameter p of the parabola is the distance from the focus to the directrix, thus p=4.

The branches of the parabola go in negative direction of x-axis, because the focus lies to the left from the vertex.

The equation of the parabola is

(y-0)^2=-2\cdot 4\cdot (x-0),\\ \\y^2=-8x.

The crew on a fishing boat caught 4 fish that weighed a total of 1,092 pound. The tarpon weighed twice as much as the amberjack
Savatey [412]

ddddd

Let T be the weight of Tarpon

Let A be the weight of amberjack

Let W be the weight of white marlin

Let TU be the weight of Tuna

The crew on a fishing boat caught 4 fish that weighed a total of 1,092 pound.

Total weight = 1092

T + A + W + TU = 1092

The tarpon weighed twice as much as the amberjack

T= 2 A

  the white marlin weighed twice as much as the tarpon.

W = 2 T

We know T is 2A  so W = 2(2A) = 4 A, W = 4A

The weight of the tuna was 5 times the weight of the Amber jack.

TU = 5A

T = 2A  , W = 4A , TU = 5A

Replace it in our equation

T + A + W + TU = 1092

2A + A + 4A + 5A = 1092

12A = 1092

Divide both sides by 12

A = 91

the weight of amberjack = 91 pounds

the weight of white marlin = 4A = 4(91) = 364 pounds

the weight of Tarpon = 2A = 2(91) = 182 pounds

the weight of Tuna= 5A = 5(91)=455 pounds
