Parabolas a and b both have a focus at (2, 2). parabola a has a directrix at x = -1 and parabola b has a directrix at x = 5. what is the distance between the vertices of the two parabolas? a. 1.5 b. 3 c. 4 d. 5 e. 6

Parabola A: directrix is at x = -1 and focus is at (2,2) so the vertex is the midpoint between those.  Vertex = (0.5, 2)

Parabola B: directrix is at x = 5 and focus is at (2,2) so the vertex is the midpoint between those.  Vertex = (3.5, 2)

Distance between Vertex A and Vertex B is the distance between (0.5, 2) and (3.5, 2) = 3

B

answer: since the question is talking about growth you have to use the growth formula which is inital amount (1 + growth)^time

step-by-step explanation:

the intial amount is 1200, the growth is 4.8, and the time is 7. plug those numbers into the equation, also i think you have to change 4.8 into a percent. but, i have forgotton how to do that. if this is a online class go on to the lesson.
