Answer:
m = -20
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's have the first number, the larger number, be <em>x</em>. We'll have the second, smaller number be <em>y</em>.
We know that x = y + 6, since x is 6 greater than y.
We also know that 330 = x + y.
Because x = y + 6, 330 = y + 6 + y, which simplifies to 330 = 2y + 6.
Now all we need to do is simplify the equation. First, we subtract 6 from both sides:
330 - 6 = 324
2y + 6 - 6 = 2y.
So we have 324 = 2y. Then we divide both sides by 2 to get:
162 = y
Plug in y = 162 into the equation x = y + 6 to get:
x = 162 + 6
x = 168
Let's check to make sure our answer is right. 168 is 6 more than 162. 162 + 168 equals 330. So our two numbers are 168 and 162.

Answer:
C. 1/(4a)
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume you're comparing the vertex form ...
y = a(x -h)^2 +k
to the form used to write the equation in terms of the focal distance p.
y = 1/(4p)(x -h)^2 +k
That comparison tells you ...
a = 1/(4p)
p = 1/(4a) . . . . . . multiply by p/a; matches choice C

<em>Additional comment</em>
When using plain text to write a rational expression, parentheses are needed around any denominator that has is more than a single constant or variable. The order of operations requires 1/4a to be interpreted as (1/4)a. The value of p is 1/(4a).
When rational expressions are typeset, the fraction bar serves as a grouping symbol identifying the entire denominator:
