Anna bought a bag of apples and oranges altogether, there were 13 pieces. the number of oranges in the bag was one more than twice as many apples. how many of each fruit were in the bag

the distance from any point on the parabola to the focus is the exact same as the distance from that point to the directrix.

if you could provide answer choices that might allow me to answer the question easier if my above answer isn't an option! (:

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
