We have
y²=-12x

the vertex is the point (0,0)------------- > see the attached figure

standard form: (y-k)^2=4p(x-h), with (h,k) being the (x,y) coordinates of the vertex.
vertex(0,0)
4p=-12---- > p=-12/4
p=-3
Focus:(-3,0)

the answer is (-3,0)

Question: Find the volume of cuboid of dimension 16cm X 10cm x 6cm.

Answer: Given Length=16cm, Breadth=10cm, Height=6cm

Using Volume formula for cuboid:-

$volume = l \times b \times h$

$→16 \times 10 \times 6$

$→960 \: cm^{3}$

So, volume of cuboid is 960 cm³

Answer:

212,400 items were sold in 10 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Items sold this month = 70,800

Percent Increase in every month = 20%

We need to find number of items sold in coming 10 months.

Solution:

First we will find number of items increase in each month.

number of items increase in each month can be calculated by Percent Increase in every month multiplied by Items sold this month and the divided by 100.

number of items increase in each month = $\frac{20}{100} \times 70800 = 14,160$
