The parabola with vertex at (0,0) and directrix at x=-4, will open towards the right.

<h3>What is a directrix?</h3>

A parabola is a collection of points on a plane that are all at the same distance from a particular point and line. The point is called the focus of the parabola while the line is called the directrix. The directrix is perpendicular to a parabola's axis of symmetry and does not contact it.

As we know that the directrix is perpendicular to the axis of the parabola, now since the directrix is at x=-4, the parabola will be horizontal and will be opening either towards the left or the right.

As it is given that the vertex of the parabola is at (0,0) and we know that the parabola can not touch the directrix, therefore, the parabola's vertex will be at (0,0) and will open towards the right side. As shown below.

Hence, the parabola with vertex at (0,0) and directrix at x=-4, will open towards the right.

What is the exact circumference of a circle with a radius of 125 m? Use 3.14 to approximate pi
djyliett [7]

Answer:

B. 785 M

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference = 2*pi*r

C = 2 * pi * 125

C = 250pi   This is the exact answer

Now approximating with pi as 3.14

C = 250 (3.14)

C = 785

A booklet is made from 6 rectangular pieces of paper. Each piece measures 297mm by 420mm. The mass of paper is 80g per m^2. What
liq [111]
Alright, so the area of one paper is 297mm*420mm=124740mm^2. Multiplying that by 6 due to 6 sheets, we get 748440mm^2. Converting mm^2 to m^2, since we know that 1000mm=1m, we simply do (1m/1000m)^2=1m^2/1,000,000mm^2. Our equation is now
748440mm^2*1m^2/1,000,000mm^2=0.748440m^2 by crossing out the millimeters. Lastly, since it's 80g/1m^2, we multiply our number by that to get 59.8752g
