Directrix y = 8
 It is a horizontal line  so the parabola is vertical. 
<span>The focus (2, 4) lies below the directrix,
Therefore parabola opens downwards. </span>
<span>vertex will be  halfway between focus and directrix, at (2, 6) </span>
<span>focal length =p
= distance between focus and vertex
= 2 </span>
<span>y = (-1/(4p))(x - 2)² + 6 </span>
<span>y = (-1/8)(x - 2)² + 6
hope this helps</span>

A cone has a volume of 2,355 cubic inches and a height of 10 inches. How many inches is the diameter of the cone
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Okay well first we right down what we already know:

- volume of 2,355 cubic inches  

- the height is 10 inches

Now we write down the equation for the volume of a cone:

V = πr²

lets plug in what we know into the equation                                      

2,355 = πr²

now we simplify to solve for r                          

2,355 / 10/3 = 706.5 = πr²                            

706.5/π = r²= 224.89

now since its r² we take the square root of 224.89                            

r = 15 inches

for diameter we multiply 15 by 2                            

diameter = 30 inches
