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
The profit for 25 products sold and 150 products sold are 3159 and 19190.25 respectively.
<u><em>Explanation</em></u>
The profit of a company receives is given by the expression: 
Simplifying this expression using distributive property, we will get .....
So, the simplified expression for profit will be: 
As 
represents the number of products sold, so for finding the profit for 25 products sold and 150 products sold, <u>we need plug 
and 
separately into the above expression</u>.
