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.

Cost of 7 gallons=$24.50

Cost of 1 gallon=24.50/7=3.5

Cost of 15 gallons=15*3.5=52.5

Cost of 15 gallons will be $52.5

For 1 flavor there are 9 topping

Therefore, for 5 different flavors there will be 5*9 choices

No of choices= 5*9

=45

Salesperson will make 6% of 1800

=(6/100)*1800

=108

Salesperson will make $108 in $1800 sales

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.

Salesperson will make 6% of 1800

=(6/100)*1800

=108

Salesperson will make $108 in $1800 sales
