Follow the order of operations. Evaluate absolute value first.
-3^2+8/2*4-9
Then evaluate exponents
9+8/2*4-9
Then evaluate multiplication and division from left to right
9+4*4-9
9+16-9
Then evaluate addition and subtraction from left to right
25-9
16
Final answer: 16
We have the equation

Let's complete the square, to do it let's add and subtract 25 on the right side

Now we can have y in function of x

Now we can already identify the vertex because it's in the vertex form:

Where the vertex is

As we can see, h = 5 and k = -2, then the vertex is

Now we can continue and find the focus, the focus is

We have a = 1/20, therefore

The focus is

And the last one, the directrix, it's

Then

Hence the correct answer is: vertex (5, -2); focus (5, 3); directrix y = -7
T(3)=3(3)-1
T(3)=9-1
T(3)=8
answer is 8
The perimeter of the triangle is: 4x+9
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter is the measurement of boundary of any closed figure.
Given
s1 = x+4
s2 = x+8
s3 = 2x-3
So, the perimeter will be the sum of all three sides

Hence,
The perimeter of the triangle is: 4x+9
