Answer:

Since the focus is at (-6,-11) and the directrix is at y=9:

 

The vertex is halfway between the focus and the directrix, so the vertex is at (-6,-1).  (Draw this on graph paper if that doesn't make sense.)

 

The general form (conics form) of a parabola:  4p(y-k)=(x-h)^2 (vertex is (h,k) and "p" is the distance between the focus and vertex (or between vertex and directrix)).

 

(h,k) = (-6,-1)

 

p = 10 (distance between focus and vertex), so 4p = 40.

 

Therefore:

 

40(y+1)=(x+6)^2

 

Or if you need to rearrange to "vertex form":  y=(1/40)(x+6)^2 - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A coffee mixture has beans that sell for $0.20 a pound and beans that sell for $0.68. If 120 pounds of beans create a mixture wo
atroni [7]
Let x be the number of pounds of the $1.35 beans. The cost of those beans is $1.35 * x, or 1.35x. 
<span>Let y be the number of pounds of the $1.05 beans. The cost of those beans is $1.05 * y, or 1.05y. </span>
<span>We know that 120 pounds of the mix sells for $1.15/pound, for a total of 120 * 1.15 = $138. </span>

<span>x + y = 120 </span>
<span>1.35(x) + (1.05)y = 138 </span>

<span>We can rewrite the first as </span>
<span>x = -y + 120 </span>

<span>Now we can substitute (-y + 120) in for (x) in the second equation, because we just proved they're equal. </span>

<span>1.35(x) + 1.05(y) = 138 </span>
<span>1.35(-y + 120) + 1.05y = 138 </span>
<span>-1.35y + 162 + 1.05y = 138 </span>
<span>-0.3y + 162 = 138 </span>
<span>-0.3y = -24 </span>
<span>y = 80 </span>

<span>And since x + y = 120, that means x = 40. </span>

<span>Check: </span>
<span>40 pounds of x at $1.35 costs 40 * 1.35, or $54. </span>
<span>80 pounds of y at $1.05 costs 80 * 1.05, or $84. </span>
<span>Do those add up to our target total, according to the question, of 120 * 1.15 = $138? </span>
