Using the given information, give the vertex form equation of each parabola.
vertex: (-1,-10) focus: (-3/4, -10)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you plot these points on a coordinate plane, you will see that they both lie on the same horiztonal line, y = -10, with the focus 1/4 to the right of the vertex.  This information tells you a ton of stuff.  First, it tells you that, since a parabola "hugs" the focus, this parabola opens to the right and is of the form x = y-squared.  This equation is

The information also tells us that p (the distance between the vertex and the focus) is .25.  h is the "x" coordinate of the vertex and k is the "y" coordinate of the vertex, so h = -1, and k = -10.  Filling in our formula:

Simplify the left to

and solve for x:

answer: the answer is one of

step-by-step explanation:   we are given to write a proper fraction where the whole is divided into an even number of equal parts less than ten, and an odd number of those parts exist.

an even number less than 10 may be one of 2, 4, 6 or 8. so, the whole may be one of these four evens.

now, an odd number of these parts must exist, so the numerator must be an odd number, one of 1, 3, 5 or 7. it cannot be 9 because then the fraction will become improper.

thus, our fraction may be one of the following
