(x-h)^2=4p(y-k)
vertex is (h,k)
p is the distance from focus to vertex and distance from vertex to directix (vertex is in middle of directix and focus)
if p is positive, the parabola opens up and the focus is above the directix
if p is negative, the parabola opens down and the focus is below the directix
we see the directix is over the focus (1>-1) so the parabola opens down and p is negative
distance from (5,-1) to y=1 is 2 units
2/2=1
p=-1 since p is negative
1 up from (5,-1) is (5,0)
veretx is (5,0)
(x-5)^2=4(-1)(y-0)
(x-5)^2=-4y is the equation
Hi there!
First of all we need to remember the number 6.32.
It could be any of the following:
6.323 OR 6.324
We are rounding UPPP! If you were to round down it would be 6.32 or less.
Hope this helped!
The multiply choice were worth 4 points.
Gretchen= 18x+19
Ezia= 15x+31
So basically you can enter any number. At first I picked 3 and then I did the math and I got 73 points for Gretchen and 76 points for Ezia.
Then I pick four and then I got 91 points for them both. This is how I got the answer:
18x+19=15x+31
18(4)+19=15(4)+31
72+19=60+31
91=91
I think the answer might be b
