<u>Answer:</u>

y=-\frac{1}{16} x^2

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Equation of parabola with focus at (0,-4) and directrix is y=4.

We know that parabola is the locus of all the points such that the distance from fixed point on the parabola to fixed line directrix is the same.

The parabola is opening downwards.

Let any point on parabola is (x,y).

Distance from focus(0,-4) to (x,y) = \sqrt{(x-0)^2+(y-(-4))^2}=|y-4|

\sqrt{(x-0)^2+(y-+4)^2}=|y-4|

(x-0)^2+(y+4)^2=(y-4)^2

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

x^2+(y^2+4y+4y+16)=y^2-4y-4y+16

x^2+y^2+8y+16=y^2-8y+16

x^2+16y^2=0

16y=-x^2

y=-\frac{1}{16} x^2

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

Easter, Christmas, birthdays, and New Year

Step-by-step explanation:

For me, I would choose Easter because before easter we always go to a church and stay there whole night. After 3-4 a.m, we go home and take a nap. But the most fun activity that we do during Easter is playing a game where we pick the best eggs and beat with each other. Later, our parents hide eggs and a couple of toys in the park and me and my siblings begin finding them.
