Answer in the attachment.
So hmm notice the graph below
based on where the focus point is at, and the directrix, then, the parabola is opening upwards, meaning the squared variable is the "x"
now, keep in mind, the vertex is at coordinates h,k
the vertex itself is half-way between the focus and directrix
the directrix is at y=15/8 and the focus is at y=17/8
so, half-way will then be
well, so is 1/4 between the focus point and the directrix, half of that is 1/8
so, if you move from the focus point 1/8 down, you'll get the y-coordinate for the vertex, or 1/8 up from the directrix, since the vertex is equidistant to either
what's the "p" distance? well, we just found it, is just 1/8
so, the x-coordinate is obviously -4, get the y-coordinate by 17/8 - 1/8 or 15/8 + 1/8
and plug your values (x-h)² = 4p(y-k) and then solve for "y", that's the equation of the quadratic

Options:
a. Nikki's proposed placement will light a greater area than Dylan's placement.
b. Dylan's proposed placement will light a greater area than Nikki's placement.
c. Both proposed placements will light the same sized area.
d. Nikki's proposed placement will light more than half the yard.
e. Dylan's proposed placement will light more than half the yard.
f. Dylan's proposed placement will light exactly half of the yard.
g. Nikki's proposed placement will light less than half of the yard.
Answer:
C) Both proposed placements will light the same sized area.
F) Dylan's proposed placement will light exactly half of the yard.
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a triangle is (base x height) / 2, and both lights illuminate the same base and height = (60 x 38) / 2 = 1,140 sq ft
Both Dylan's and Nikki's proposed placement will lit exactly half of the yard. The yard's total area = 60 x 38 = 2,280 sq ft, which is twice the area lit by the lights.
