Answer:
3 1/8 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
For focus-vertex distance p, the equation of the parabola can be written ...
y = x^2/(4p)
Here, we have p=8. We want to find the value of y when x=10 (the radius of the dish). That is ...
y = (10^2)/(4·8) = 100/32 = 3 1/8
The dish is 3 1/8 inches deep.

Step-by-step explanation:
The plot chart below best represents the relationship between stress and productivity in the workplace. As seen in the chart both high and low levels of stress equate to very low productivity levels for employees in the workplace. While just enough stress creates very productive employees. This tends to be because employees are worried about the possibility of losing their jobs so they work hard in order to keep the job but are not so worried that they think it will happen tomorrow and become burned out.
