Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The directrix is at the same distance from the vertex as the focus but on the opposite side of the vertex.

x coordinate the same for a focus and a vertex (4) means the parabola opens up or down and the directrix is parallel to the x-axis.

y coordinate of the focus greater than y coordinate of the vertex means the parabola opens up and the directrix lays below the vertex.

-1-(-5) = - 1 + 5 = 4

so: - 5 - 4 = -9 is the y coordinate of points of the directrix

answer:

2(3x+1)(x+1)

explanation:

→ 6x²+8x+2

→ 2(3x²+4x+1)

→ 2(3x²+3x+x+1)

→ 2(3x(x+1)+1(x+1))

→ 2(3x+1)(x+1)

(Discrete Mathematics) If m and n are nonzero integers, show that (2m+3n)/5mn is a rational number.

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

$\frac{(2m+3n)}{5mn}=\frac{2}{5n}+\frac{3}{5m}$ is a rational number for any m and n; nonzero integers.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that 'm' and 'n' are nonzero integers. We are asked to show that $\frac{(2m+3n)}{5mn}$ is a rational number.

We can rewrite our given number as:

$\frac{2m}{5mn}+\frac{3n}{5mn}$

Cancelling out common terms:

$\frac{2}{5n}+\frac{3}{5m}$

Since 'm' and 'n' are nonzero integers, so each part will be a rational number.

We know that sum of two rational numbers is always rational, therefore, our given number is a rational number.

Two consumers borrowed 10000 for five years bob has credit score of 650 and has an intrest rate of 11.5% while tyree has a credi

Serga [27]

Here is the answer to the problem above.

For Bob:

m = 10,000 (0.115/12) (1 + 0.115/12) (12.5)
---------------------------------------------------
(1 + 0.115/12) (12.5) - 1
m = 219.93 * 60
m = $13195.80

For Tyree:

m = 10,000 (0.08/12) (1 + 0.08/12) (12.5)
---------------------------------------------------
(1 + 0.08/12) (12.5) - 1
m = 202.76 * 60
m = $12165.60

M of Bob - M of Tyree
$13195.80 - $12165.60 = $1030.20

$1030.20 is the total difference between the two men.
