Expanded FormExpanded form refers to a base and an exponent written as repeated multiplication. ExponentExponents are used to describe the number of times that a term is multiplied by itself. ExpressionAn expression is a mathematical phrase containing variables, operations and/or numbers.
Refer to the diagram shown below.
The directrix is y = -4 and the focus is (-2, -2).
Therefore the vertex is at (-2, -3).
Consider an arbitrary point (x,y) on the parabola.
The square of distance from the focus to the point is
(x+2)² + (y+2)²
The square of the distance from the point to the directrix is
(y+4)²
Therefore
(y+4)² = (y+2)² + (x+2)²
y² + 8y + 16 = y² + 4y + 4 + (x+2)²
4y = (x+2)² - 12
y = (1/4)(x+2)² - 3
Answer:
A. 2x+y=25; x+y=20
x represents cheese wafers and y represents chocolate wafers.
B. I will choose elimination since there is y and y. I can multiply one equation by -1 to get y and -y, which cancels out.
2x+y=25
-x-y=-20
Add equations
x=5
Plug x in
5+y=20
y=15
Final answer: 5 cheese wafers, 15 chocolate wafers

What if I say to you:
"Start with 3 cows, take away 7 cows, and then add 14 cows. How many are there ?"
Don't let the little 't' scare you. It doesn't matter one bit what 't' really is. It can be
a number, a teacher, a tiger, or a teacup. Whatever it is, you start with 3 of them,
take away 7 of them, and then add on 14 of them. How many are there ?
Hint: If there are not ten of them, then go back and look at the cows again.
Yes it is a linear relationship
