reception as guests of the bride and groom. the guests will be
seated in groups of eight at each table. how many tables are
needed for the wedding guests?

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of guest = 182+18

= 200 guests

If 8 are using a table then the number of tables needed = 200/8

= 25tables

step-by-step explanation:

the orientation of the parabolas can easily be found by analysing the power of x and y and their signs. if x is squared , parabola opens up and also if its coefficient is negative it opens down. if y is squared , the parabola opens right and also if its coefficient is negative it opens left. however in order to do the above analysis our equation must be in standard form .

our parabola is

which is not standard form of any parabola . hence we square on both hand side and convert it into standard form.

hence we see that x is squared and its coefficient is non negative . there for it opens up.
