Derive the equation of the parabola with the focus is (-7,5) and the directrix of y=-11

So, notice, the focus point is at -7, 5, and the directrix is at y = -11.

keep in mind that the vertex is half-way between those two fellows, and the distance from the vertex to either one of them is "p" units, check the picture below.

with that focus point and that directrix, the half-way over the axis of symmetry will be -7, -3, that's where the vertex is at, and notice the distance "p", is 8 units.

since the parabola is opening upwards, "p" is positive 8.

\bf \textit{parabola vertex form with focus point distance}\\\\
\begin{array}{llll}
4p(x- h)=(y- k)^2
\\\\
\boxed{4p(y- k)=(x- h)^2}
\end{array}
\qquad 
\begin{array}{llll}
vertex\ ( h, k)\\\\
 p=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\
\qquad \textit{ focus or directrix}
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\begin{cases}
h=-7\\
k=-3\\
p=8
\end{cases}\implies 4(8)[y-(-3)]=[x-(-7)]^2
\\\\\\
32(y+3)=(x+7)^2\implies y+3=\cfrac{1}{32}(x+7)^2
\\\\\\
y=\cfrac{1}{32}(x+7)^2-3

Please help! Math problem is attached!!
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Ounces of strawberry juice: 20 ounces

Ounces of water: 80 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we can use the equation:

x + y = 100 ounces

Where x = The number of ounces of strawberry juice

and y = The number of ounces of water

Since we know that Molly uses four times as many ounces of water for each ounce of strawberry juice, we can conclude that:

y = 4x

With this information, we can use substitution to solve for x.

x + y = 100 ounces

x + (4x) = 100

Combine like-terms.

5x = 100

x = 20

Now that we know the value of x, we can figure out how many ounces of strawberry juice and how many ounces of water Molly needs.

Since x = The number of ounces of strawberry juice, Molly needs to use 20 ounces of strawberry juice.

Since y = The number of ounces of water, Molly needs to use 80 ounces of strawberry juice. (y = 4x | x = 20 | y = 4(20) | y = 80)

~Hope this helps!~

the ratio of black bags to blue bags is 5 to 3. If there are a total of 185 black bags, then how many blue bags are there?
nlexa [21]

Answer:

There are 111 blue bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of black bags

y ---> the number of blue bags

we know that

\frac{x}{y}=\frac{5}{3}

isolate the variable y

y=\frac{3}{5}x -----> equation A

x=185 ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

y=\frac{3}{5}(185)

y=111

therefore

There are 111 blue bags
