If all the equations for the directrix are "x = " lines then this is a y^2 parabola. The actual equation is
. The standard form for a positive sideways-opening parabola is
. We know from the equation that the vertex of the parabola is at the origin, or else the translation would be reflected within the parenthesis in the equation. Our equation has no parenthesis to indicate movement from the origin. The vertex is (0, 0). Got that out of the way. That simplifies our standard form down to
. Let's take a look at our equation now. It is
. We could rewrite it and make it a closer match to the standard form if we multiply both sides by 8 to get rid of the fraction. That gives us an equation that looks like this:
. That means that 4p = 8, and p = 2. p is the distance that the focus and the directrix are from the vertex. Since this is a positive parabola, it opens up to the right. Which means, then, that the focus is to the right of the vertex, 2 units to be exact, and the directrix is 2 units to the left of the vertex. The formula for the focus is (h + p, k). Our h is 0, our k is 0 and our p is 2, so the coordinates of the focus are (2, 0). Going 2 units to the left of the origin then puts our directrix at the line x = -2. Your choice then as your answer is b.

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "The reason for the difference can not be determined with the information that is given." Looking at the scatter plot of pages versus amazon price, it appears that the data might be clustered around two separate regression lines.

Answer:
Amanda's box volume is 70 cm^3 greater than Mary's
Step-by-step explanation:
Find and then compare the volumes of the two boxes:
Amanda's: 10*10*13.5 cm^3 = 1350 cm^3
Mary's: 8*8*20 = 1280 cm^3
Amanda's box volume is 70 cm^3 greater than Mary's.
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
In the original expression = 37.4 - 54.9 = -17.5
So, we have to solve all the equations but 1 of them has to equal to -17.5
A) -54.9 + (-37.4) = -92.3
Remove parentheses
= -54.9 - 37.4
Subtract the numbers
-92.3
B) 54.9 - 37.4 = 17.5
Since 54.9 is greater than 37.4 just subtract normally
4 14
5 4. 9 < ------- Line up the decimal points like this
- 3 7. 4 <--------- Subtract the decimals
-----------------
1 7 . 5 <---------- This is the final answer to B.
C) 37.4 - (- 54.9) = 92.3
Change the sign to addition
=37.4 + 54.9
Add the numbers normally
54.9
+ 37. 4
--------------
92.3
D) 37.4 + (-54.9) = -17.5
Change the sign to subtraction
= 37.4 - 54.9
Subtract them normally (but as you can see you are subtracting a smaller number from a larger number so heres a trick that you can use switch the equation by putting the larger number in first like this....)
54.9 - 37.4 = 17.5 (REMEMBER the answer is not 17.5 because the original equation of D is reversed 37.4 - 54.9 so in this case your answer should be
- 17.5)
37.4 - 54.9 = -17.5
Your final answer is D because it matches 37.4 - 54.9.
Hope this helps!
