Part 1: The general form for this matches y^2 = -4cx, which implies that this opens to the left. (Imagine assigning any value of y, whether positive or negative, which would result in a positive left-hand value. Then to match this sign, the value of x must be negative so that the right-hand side becomes positive as well.)
Part 2: The distance from the vertex to the directrix is given by c. This equation has its vertex at the origin (0, 0). If it opens to the left, the directrix is a vertical line to the right of the origin. This equation is y^2 = -4(1/2)x, so c = 1/2, and the directrix has the equation x = 1/2.
Part 3: The focus is inside the parabola, but it is the same distance from the vertex as the directrix. This distance is 1/2 units, and it will be to the left of the vertex. So the focus is at (-1/2, 0).
5.871 is greater than 5.781 because in the tenths place 8 is greater than 7. Also if you round the numbers to the nearest tenth, you get 5.9 versus 5.8
Answer:
98.1 is your anwser I know this kinds of stuff
Add up all of the side lengths and you get 148.4 as the perimeter.
subtract that from 150 and you're left with 1.6 m left of tape
Answer:
£24 : £32
Step-by-step explanation:
Add the parts of the ratio 3 + 4 = 7
Divide the amount by 7 to find the value of one part
£56 ÷ 7 = £8 ← one part of the ratio
3 parts = 3 × £8 = £24
4 parts = 4 × £8 = £32
