The vertex of the parabola is between the shortest line connecting its focus and directrix, so between (0, -4) and y = 4 is the point (0, 0), which is the vertex of the parabola. Also, this parabola faces downward.
The general formula for a parabola that faces downward is y = -4cx^2, where c is the distance from the vertex to either to focus or the parabola. Since c = 4, the equation is y = -16x^2, which is choice A.
I believe the answer is 9.
Answer:
t > -7/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write out inequality
14 - (9t - 2) < -t + 30
Step 2: Distribute
14 - 9t + 2 < -t + 30
Step 3: Combine like terms
-9t + 16 < -t + 30
Step 4: Add 9t to both sides
16 < 8t + 30
Step 5: Subtract 30 on both sides
-14 < 8t
Step 6: Divide both sides by 8
-7/4 < t
Step 7: Rewrite
t > -7/4
11.35-6:35= 5 hours
5 x 4 = 20 this is how many degrees it rose in 5 hours
-18+20 = 2 degrees
d is your answer
We have a point and a slope, so let's use the point slope formula!

where
x1=4
y1=2
and m=3
