Check the picture below. So the parabola looks more or less like so.
let's recall that the vertex is half-way between the focus point and the directrix, at "p" units away from both.
Let's notice that the focus point is below the directrix, that means the parabola is vertical, namely the squared variable is the "x", and it also means that it's opening downwards as you see in the picture, namely that "p" is negative, in this case "p" is 1 unit, and thus is -1.

Answer:
(4,1)
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y=5
x- y=3
Add the equations together to eliminate y
x+y=5
x- y=3
--------------------
2x = 8
Divide each side by 2
2x/2 = 8/2
x = 4
Now we can find y
x+y = 5
4+y = 5
Subtract 4 from each side
4+y-4 = 5-4
y =1
You need to multiply 188 by 25%. But first convert 25% to a decimal 0.25.
188*0.25 is 47
Now we subtract 188 - 47
Which is 141
$141 is the sales price.
60 minutes in an hour
60 x 8 = 480
his class is 480 minutes long
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
changing the number in the f(x) will shift right and left ( + for left and - for right ) and changing out f(x) will shift up and down ( + for up and - for down)
