Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The directrix y=-6 is parallel to the x axes, so parabola has equation of the form

where
is the vertex of parabola and p is parabola's parameter.
By the definition,
is the distance from the vertex to the directrix, so

Hence, the equation of parabola is

See attached diagram for the graph of parabola and its directrix.
In vertex form this equation is

Answer:
<em>after 4seconds</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the height, h , in feet, of the football above the ground after t seconds expressed by h ( t ) = − 8 t^2 + 32 t, the height of the ball on the ground is 0feet.
Substitute h(t) = 0 into the expression and calculate t;
h ( t ) = − 8 t^2 + 32 t
0 = − 8 t^2 + 32 t
8t² = 32t
8t = 32
Divide both sides by 8
8t/8 = 32/8
<em>t = 4s</em>
<em>Hence the football hits the ground after 4seconds</em>

Answer:
x = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
-2(-5x+5) - 3x + 4= -34
10x - 10 -3x + 4 = -34
7x - 6 = -34
<u> +6 + 6</u>
7x = -28
x = -4
