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

Select the correct product. (x + 8)(y + 3) xy + 8x + 3y + 24 xy + 3x + 8y + 24 11xy 24xy
MAXImum [283]
(x + 8)(y + 3)

x*(y+3) + 8*(y + 3)

x*y + 3*x + 8*y + 3*8

xy + 3x + 8y + 24

So the correct product is =  xy + 3x + 8y + 24, I guess the second expression.

I hope this helps.
