A parabola can be drawn given a focus of (4,-8) and a directrix of x = -4. What can be said about the parabola?

It opens to the right and the vertex is at  (0, -8).

The axis of symmetry is y = -8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex is halfway between the directrix and the focus.  

The focus is to the right of the directrix so the curve will open towards the right. The axis of symmetry is the line y = -8.

answer: the value should be used for i in the formula of calculation the monthly payment , the interest rate per period is 0.85.

step-by-step explanation:

the given rate of interest i= 85%

in calculating the monthly payment for a loan with an interest rate compounded monthly, the value of the interest rate per period we use in the formula must be in decimal form.

to convert it in decimal, we divide it by 100, we get

hence, the value should be used for i in the formula of calculation the monthly payment , the interest rate per period is 0.85.

sure i'm up for it
