Consider the parabola with a focus at the point (0, -3) and directrix y = 2. Which two equations can be used to correctly relate the distances from the
focus and the directrix to any point (x, y) on the parabola?
O
A. a = y-2; a = v(x+0)2 + (y - 3)2
B. a = y-2, 3 = v(x+0)* +(y + 3)2
a
0
C. 2 = 2 - y. = (x+0)2 +(y +3)?
O
D. a = 2- y, a = f(x+0)2 +(y - 3)2

Use addition and subtraction to simplify the following polynomials. a. add polynomials: (3 – 4x + 8x^2) + (–6 + 2x – 5x^2) step 1: rewrite the polynomials without the parentheses. step 2: write the polynomial in descending order and use parentheses around like terms. step 3: add the like terms identified in step 2 to simplify the polynomial. b. subtract polynomials: (3x – 5 – 7x^2) – (–2 + 6x^2 – 5x) step 1: rewrite the polynomials without the parentheses. remember to multiply each term in the second parentheses by –1. show your work. step 2: write the polynomial in descending order and use parentheses around like terms. step 3: add the like terms identified in step 2 to simplify the polynomial.

Identify the graph of y = ln x + 1.

Isuck at math ; ^; m a student solved this problem and said the answer is 3 feet. chase had a roll of ribbon that contained 7 7/8  feet of ribbon. he cut off one piece that was 3 5/8  feet long and another piece that was 1 1/4  feet from the roll. how much ribbon was left on the roll? is the student's answer reasonable? yes, the answer is reasonable. no, the answer is not reasonable. it should be about 2 feet. no, the answer is not reasonable. it should be about 13 feet. no, the answer is not reasonable. it should be about 4 feet.
