So hmmm check the picture below
so... the vertex is "p" distance from the focus and the directrix, thus, the vertex is really half-way between both
in this case, 2 units up from the focus or 2 units down from the directrix, and thus it lands at 3,3
now, the "p" distance is 2, however, the directrix is up, the focus point is below it, the parabola opens towards the focus point, thus, the parabola is opening downwards, and the squared variable is the "x"
because the parabola opens downwards, "p" is negative, and thus, -2
now, let's plug all those fellows in then
Answer: 9in•6in
Step-by-step explanation:
12•4=48 inches
9•6=56 inches
Answer: Approximately 28
Step-by-step explanation: 55.25 + 250 = 305.25 next 305.25 ÷ 11 = 27.75 you can round to approximately 28
(Let me know if im wrong)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given



Required
Determine the probability of selecting two fakes
The probability can be represented as thus: 
Using the following probability formula, we have:

Each probability is calculated by dividing number of fakes by total number of gems:

The minus 1 (-1) represent the numbers of fake and total gems left after the first selection




<em>Hence, the required probability is approximately 0.504</em>
The width is w. the length is 2w - 4. to find area we would multiply these two together: w(2w - 4) & make sure to distribute the w to the 2w AND the -4. so the answer to this question would be 2w^2 - 4w (c). hope this helps!
