<span> we have that
standard form of equation for parabola:
(x-h)^2=-4p(y-k)
(h,k) --------->being the (x,y) coordinates of the vertex.
Parabola opens downwards because focus is below vertex on the axis of symmetry.
For given problem:
</span><span>vertex: (-3,2)
axis of symmetry: x=-3
p=distance from vertex to focus on the axis of symmetry=2-(-1)=3
4p=12
Directrix: y=2+p=5
Equation:
(x+3)^2=-12(y-2)
the answer is </span>(x+3)^2=-12(y-2)

Answer: c. elm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The circumference of the oak tree= 0.539 meters
=
[∵ 1 m = 100 cm] (1)
The circumference of the ash tree= 0.509 yards
[∵ 1 yard = 3 feet]
[∵ 1 foot = 30.48 cm]
(2)
The circumference of the elm tree = 6281.70 millimeters
(3)
The circumference of the poplar tree = 0.000385 miles
[∵ 1 mile = 5280 feet]
[∵ 1 foot = 30.48 cm]
(4)
From (1) , (2) , (3 ) and (4) it is clear that
46.54< 53.9 < 61.96 < 628.17
Hence, the elm tree has the greatest circumference.
