John has a job selling souvenirs on a football stadium. He earns $10 per game plus $0.25 dollars for each souvenir he sells. How
1 answer:
Answer:
He needs to sell 100 souvenirs
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to know the number of souveniers John has to sell
Let the number of souveniers he sold at the game be s
At a rate of $0.25 per souvenier, the amount earned on souveniers for s souveniers will be:
Now, if we added this to the amount he earns per game, we will have the total $35 earned for working at one game.
Thus, mathematically:

Answer:
- p = -3
- v: (4, -1)
- f: (4, -4)
- d: y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation ...
(x -h)² = 4p(y -k)
is the equation of a parabola with vertex (h, k) and vertex-focus distance of p. When p is negative (as here), it means the focus is below the vertex, and the parabola opens downward. The directrix is p units on the other side of the vertex from the focus.
The vertex for equation ...
(x -4)² = -12(y +1)
is (h, k) = (4, -1). The value of p is (-12/4) = -3, so the focus is (4, -1-3) = (4, -4), and the directrix is y = -1+3 = 2.

<em>Additional comment</em>
As a check on the graph, you can remember that any point on the parabola is equidistant from the focus and directrix. You will notice the vertex is halfway between the focus and directrix, so you know that relationship is true there.
You will also notice that a horizontal line from the focus to the parabola intersects the same distance away from the focus as from the directrix. Thus the parabola distance relation holds at that point as well.
