Y=1/8(x^2+4x+44) is correct

Answer:

y=1/8(-x^2+4x+44

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question the given focus is (2,4) and a directrix of y = 8 and we have to derive the equation of the parabola.

Let (x,y) is a point on the given parabola.Then the distance between the point (x,y) to (2,4) and the distance from (x,y) to diractrix will be same.

Distance between (x,y) and (2,4)

= √(x-2)²+(y-4)²

And the distance between (x,y) and directrix y=8

= (y-8)

Now √(x-2)²+(y-4)² = (y-8)

(x-2)²+(y-4)² = (y-8)²

x²+4-4x+y²+16-8y = y²+64-16y

x²+20+y²-4x-8y = y²-16y+64

x²+20-4x-8y+16y-64=0

x²+8y-4x-44 = 0

8y = -x²+4x+44

Can Someone help me plz????
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

4. C

5. 7

6. 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Four:

You have to multiply both of them. Just easy math!

Five:

This one is more complicated. You can see that it is asking you to plug in for a,

F(3):

f(3)= 4(3)-5

f(3)=12-5

f(3)=7

F(1.25):

f(1.25)=4(1.25)-5

f(1.25)=5-5f(1.25)=0

So now just subtract the answers. 7-0 equals 7.

Six:

Just look at the graph and see what number corresponds with y(6), or the 6 on the y axis. It appears to be three.

Have a nice day! Hope this helps. Don't forget to mark brainliest!

evan has a job selling magazine and newspaper subscriptions. he earns $23 for each magazine subscription and $54 for each newspa
SashulF [63]
First we write the variables already defined:
 m = the number of magazine subscriptions sold
 n = the number of newspaper subscriptions sold
 We now write the system of inequations based on the following facts:
 "he earns $ 23 for each magazine subscription and $ 54 for each newspaper subscription that he sells. his goal is to make more than $ 642 per week"
 23m + 54n> 642
 "I have expectations to sell at least 10 subscriptions per week"
 m + n> = 10
 Answer: 
 A system of inequalities that models the given situation is: 
 23m + 54n> 642 
 m + n> = 10
