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

The mass of Earth is about 6 X 1024
storchak [24]

Answer:

81

Step-by-step explanation:

To do "how many times greater" problems, you divide.  Think how you would answer this:  How many times greater is 48 than 6?  Dividing the larger 48 by the smaller 6 gives 8.  48 is 8 times greater than 6.

Do the same thing for these two masses.

6 x 10^24 divided by 7.4 x 10^22 is about 81.
