Let us assume number of n.

The number is decreased by 15.

Decreasing by 15 means, we need to subtract 15 from that number.

So, it would be come n-15.

Now, it is said that the number would become less than 2.

So, we need to setup an inequality:

n-15 is less than 2.

<h3>n-15 < 2  : required inequality .</h3>

Adding 15 on both sides, we get

n-15+15 < 2+15

n < 17.

<h3>So, we could say the number would be less than 17.</h3>

You are basically just adding, so combine like terms.

3x^2 + 5x^2 = 8x^2

6x - 2x = 4x

4 - 8 = -4

So the answer is D.

Write the equation of a parabola with a vertex and (-5, 2) and a directrix y = -1
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

y=(x+5)²/6 + 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distance formula to plug in the values you know:

√(y+1)² =√(x+5)² +( y-2)²

the square roots cancel out

(y+1) ²= (x+5)² +(y-2)²

(y+1) (y-1)= (x+5)² + (y-2) (y-2)

y²+2y+1= (x+5)² + y² -4y+4

the y² cancel out

2y+ 4y = (x+5)² + 4-1

6y= (x+5)² +3

y= (x+5)² /6+ 1/3
