Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar(s). A parabola is given by the equation y = x2 + 4x + 4.

The vertex of the parabola is -2,0 . The focus of the parabola is . The directrix of the parabola is given by the equation y = . Note: Separate coordinates inside parentheses with a comma.

(x – 0)2 = 4(y – 0)</span><span>This rearrangement "shows" that the vertex is at </span><span>(h, k) = (0, 0)</span><span>. The axis of symmetry is the vertical line right through the vertex: </span><span>x = 0</span>. (I can always check my graph, if I'm not sure about this.) The focus is "p" units from the vertex.

(y + 3)2 = –12(x – 2)</span> <span>
(y – (–3))2 = 4(–3)(x – 2)</span></span><span><span>Then the vertex is at </span><span>(h, k) = (2, –3)</span><span> and the value of </span>p<span> is </span>–3<span>.

True or false: Polar equations can describe graphs as functions, even when their equations in the rectangular coordinate system
pshichka [43]
The statement above is true. Polar equations indeed can describe graphs as functions, even if when the equations in the rectangular coordinate system are not one of the functions. Polar equations can be graphed accurately using hands by using the Polar Coordinate System.

A vender bought an earphone for $1378 and she sold it in order to make a profit of 17. 5% calculate the profit made in cash and
Inessa [10]

The profit he made from selling his hearing aids at a profit of 17% is $234.26.

<h3>How to calculate the profit obtained?</h3>

To calculate the profit obtained, we must calculate how much money is equal to 17% of $1,378.

  • $1,378 ÷ 100 = $13.78
  • $13.78 × 17 = $234.26

Based on the above, 17% of $1,378 equals $234.26. On the other hand, to calculate the final sale price of the earphone, we add the initial value plus the value of the profit.

$1,378 + $234.26 = $1,612.26

How do you solve the system:<br> y+1=2x<br> 5y+5=10x
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

choose "infinitely more solutions"

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve this system by substitution method

y+1=2x

- 1 = - 1

y = 2x -1   <-- sbstitute this in the next equation

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    5y+5 = 10x

5(2x -1) + 5 = 10x

10x -5 + 5 = 10x

10x + 0= 10x

- 10x = -10x

0 = 0      <-- infinitely more solutions
