The standard equation for a parabola that opens upward parallel to the y-axis is x2=4ay, where a = distance from the vertex to focus. Vertex is at origin(0,0)
4a=2
a=2/4
a=1/2 or 0.5
the coordinate of the focus is (0, 1/2)
the equation of the directrix is y=-1/2
Answer :-
<h3>
3 years</h3>
step by step explanation:-
Let the time be x
principal = rs 8000
Amount = rs 13824
rate = 20% p.a
A = P(1+r/100)^n
13824 = 8000 ( 1 + 20/100)^n
=> 13824/8000 = (120/100)^n
=> 13824/8000 = (24/20)^n
=> (24/20)³ = (24/20)^n
=> 3 = n
=> n = 3 years
Answer:
the first one is right and other are wrong
So we will be using
form, in which m = slope and b = y-intercept. Since we know the slope (-8), all we need to do is solve for the y-intercept. We can do this by inserting (-2,2) into the equation and solve for b.

Firstly, do the multiplication: 
Next, subtract 16 on both sides, and your answer will be -14 = b
Using the previous info we have, our equation is y = -8x - 14
