Match the steps to find the equation of the parabola with focus (-1, -8.75) and directrix y = - 9.25. 1. Find the distance from the focus to the point on the parabola. 2. Choose a point on the parabola. 3. Use (x, y). Square both sides and simplify. 4. Set the distance from focus to the point equal to the distance from directrix to the point. 5. Write the equation of the parabola. 6. Find the distance from the point on the parabola to the directrix.

step-by-step explanation:

the given growth  function for the length of the fish (cm) is

f(m) = 5(1.07)m = 5.35m

where 

m = months

at the end of the study, the length is 9.19 cm. the  time for conducting the study is determined as

5.35m = 9.19

m = 1.7178 months

part a.

the study was performed over a time period  of about 1.72 months. therefore  the domain for  plotting the function is 0 < = m < = 1.72.

note:

if growth  continues at this rate for up to m months, then the domain would be 0< =m< =m.

part b.

the growth function is a linear function.

when m=0, f=0.

therefore the initial growth is zero, which represents the y-intercept.

part c.

assume that the growth function is valid for 0< =m< =9.

the average rate of change of the function is the slope of the linear function, which is 5.35 cm/month.
