What is the directrix of a parabola with focus (4,-1) and a vertex at (4,-5)?​

Mathematics

elena-s [515]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

<h3>                 y = -9</h3>

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

In winter, the price of apples suddenly went up by $0.75 per pound. Sam bought 3 pounds of apples at the new price for a total o
Vilka [71]

Answer:

look down

Step-by-step explanation:

sam bought 3 pounds so 0.75 multiplied with 3 is 2.25 then we subtract 5.88 by 2.25 to get the original price for 3 pounds which is 3.63. Last step we divide 3.63 by 3 to get the original price for 1 pound and the answer should be 1.21 per pound.

The final equation should be $5.88- $2.25÷3= $1.21
