Answer:

New depth = -40.75 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

It should be understood that submersion is a physical process in which height is lost, so that as there is more submersion there is less height, that is, height and submersion are inversely proportional.

When talking about a submersion depth of -32.25 meters, that means the submarine has dropped 32.25 meters.

If we add 8.5 meters of additional submersion to that value, we get ....

-32.25 meters + (-8.5 meters) = -32.25 meters - 8.5 meters = -40.75 meters.

In other words, we have ...

Initial Depth = -32.25 meters

Additional depth = -8.5 meters

New depth = -40.75 meters

A parabola, with its vertex at the origin, has a directrix at y = 3. Which statements about the parabola are true? Select two op

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's answer these questions in an all-encompassing kind of explanation. If you plot the vertex and the directrix, you see that the vertex is below the directrix. Because of the fact that a parabola opens AWAY from the directrix, and wraps itself around the focus, we know it's an upside down parabola of the form

$4p(y-k)=-(x-h)^2$

The p value from the equation is a distance, specifically the distance between either the vertex and the directrix, or the vertex and the focus. The vertex is exactly in the middle of the directrix and the focus. So that tells us that the focus is 3 units below the vertex (because the directrix is 3 units above the vertex). We also know from this that p = 3.

Filling in the equation with a vertex of (0, 0) which is our h and k respectively:

$4(3)(y-0)=-(x-0)^2$ which simplifies to
