A parabola can be drawn given a focus of (-9, -7) and a directrix of x = 9. Write the equation of the parabola in any form.

Check the picture below, so the parabola looks more or less like so, with a vertex at (0 , -7), let's recall the vertex is half-way between the focus point and the directrix.

so this horizontal parabola opens up to the left-hand-side, meaning that the "P" distance is a negative value.

For every 8 cars there are 7 trucks

The solution is given in the image below

The wood before starting =12 feet

Left wood=6 feet

Wood used till now=12-6=6 feet

Picture frame built till now= 6/(3/4)

=8 pieces

Therefore, till now 8 pieces have been made.

The wood before starting =12 feet

Left wood=6 feet

Wood used till now=12-6=6 feet

Picture frame built till now= 6/(3/4)

=8 pieces

Therefore, till now 8 pieces have been made.

Area of rectangle= L*b

here,

L=12.4 cm

b= 8.8 cm

A= L*b

= 12.4 * 8.8 = 109.12 cm^2
