Answer:

  D.  (y +4)² = -4(x -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The directrix is a vertical line, and the focus is to the left of it. The parabola will open to the left.

The vertex is halfway between the focus and directrix, so is located on the same horizontal line as the focus, at ...

  x = (1 +3)/2 = 2

The focus to vertex distance is the difference in x-coordinates: 1 -2 = -1. This is the value of p in the form ...

  (y -k)² = 4p(x -h) . . . . . . . parabola with vertex (h, k)

The equation is ...

  (y +4)² = -4(x -2)

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Once you determine that the directrix is a vertical line, you know the equation will have a y² term. The only answer choice that has that is D.

Let's evaluate 3x + 4 when x=5
Vladimir79 [104]
It is simple
Step 1) substitute x = 5 into the equation
3x +4
3(5) + 4 gives you 3 times 5 + 4
The answer is 15 + 4 which is 19

Now substitute a and b into the equation 3(a) + 4(b) when the a = 6 and b = 5
Hereby 3(6) + 4(5)
3 * 6 = 18 and 4* 5 = 20
18 + 20 = 38
The answer is 38

Now finally
Substitute a and b Into the equation
3(3) + 4(6)
9+ 24 = 33

What is the perimeter of a parallelogram, if it's area is 36 cm^2 and the distances between the point of intersection of the dia
IgorC [24]

Answer:

The perimeter of a parallelogram is 30cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question , the given area of a parallelogram is 36 cm².

But the area of a parallelogram can be calculated using below formula

Area = base * height

From the question the distances that exist between the point of intersection of the diagonals and the sides are 2cm and 3cm respectively

There is the same distance between point of intersection of the diagonals and the opposite sides then,

The base of the side with 4cm can be calculated as

ha= 2+ 2= 4cm

But area can be calculated as A= base × height

36= b1 × h1

36=b1 × 4

b1= 9cm

The base of the other side can be calculated with 6cm height

h2= 3+3=6cm

A= b2× h2

36= b2 ×h2

36= b2× 6

b2= 6cm

Then the perimeter of the parallelogram can be calculated as

P= 2(b1 + b2)

= 2(6+9)

= 30cm

Hence,the perimeter of the parallelogram is 30cm
