Answer:

A) Seattle's sales were 40.42% larger than Portland's.

B) Portland sales were 28.79% smaller than Seattle's.

C)  Portland sales were 71.21% of Seattle's.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a company's sales in Seattle were $ 330,000 in 2012, while their sales in Portland were $ 235,000 for the same year, the following calculations must be performed to complete the sentences:

A)

235,000 = 100

330,000 = X

330,000 x 100 / 235,000 = X

33,000,000 / 235,000 = X

140.42 = X

Seattle's sales were 40.42% larger than Portland's.

B)

330,000 = 100

235,000 = X

235,000 x 100 / 330,000 = X

23,500,000 / 330,000 = X

71.21 = X

100 - 71.21 = 28.79

Portland sales were 28.79% smaller than Seattle's.

C)

330,000 = 100

235,000 = X

235,000 x 100 / 330,000 = X

23,500,000 / 330,000 = X

71.21 = X

Portland sales were 71.21% of Seattle's.

What is the equation of the parabola in vertex form with vertex (2,-4) and directrix y=-6​
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

y=\dfrac{1}{8}(x-2)^2-4

Step-by-step explanation:

The directrix y=-6 is parallel to the x axes, so parabola has equation of the form

(x-x_0)^2=2px(y-y_0),

where (x_0,y_0) is the vertex of parabola and p is parabola's parameter.

By the definition, \frac{p}{2} is the distance from the vertex to the directrix, so

\dfrac{p}{2}=2\Rightarrow p=4

Hence, the equation of parabola is

(x-2)^2=8(y+4)

See attached diagram for the graph of parabola and its directrix.

In vertex form this equation is

y=\dfrac{1}{8}(x-2)^2-4
