Answer:

\displaystyle \large{y=\dfrac{x^2}{4} + \dfrac{5x}{2} + \dfrac{5}{4}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • Focus = (-5,-4)
  • Directrix = -6

To find:

  • Parabola Equation

Locus of Parabola (Upward/Downward)

\displaystyle \large{\sqrt{(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2} = |y-c|}

Where:

  • (a,b) = focus
  • c = directrix

Hence:

\displaystyle \large{\sqrt{(x+5)^2+(y+4)^2}=|y+6|}

Cancel square root by squaring both sides as we get:

\displaystyle \large{(x+5)^2+(y+4)^2=(y+6)^2}

Solve for y-term:

\displaystyle \large{(x+5)^2=(y+6)^2-(y+4)^2}\\\displaystyle \large{x^2+10x+25=y^2+12y+36-y^2-8y-16}\\\displaystyle \large{x^2+10x+25=4y+20}\\\displaystyle \large{x^2+10x+5=4y}\\\displaystyle \large{y=\dfrac{x^2}{4} + \dfrac{5x}{2} + \dfrac{5}{4}}

Compare and contrast the solution of |2x + 8| > 6 and the solution of |2x + 8| < 6.
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

B.

The solution of |2x + 8| > 6 includes all values that are less than –7 or greater than –1.

The solution of |2x + 8| < 6 includes all values that are greater than –7 and less than –1.

__

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the solution by "unfolding" the absolute value, then dividing by 2 and subtracting 4:

-6 > 2x +8 > 6 . . . . . read this as -6 is less than 2x+8 or 2x+8 is greater than 6

-3 > x +4 > 3 . . . . . . .divide by 2

-7 > x > -1 . . . . . . . . . solution to the first inequality: x is less than -7 or greater than -1.

___

The solution to the other inequality is identical, except the direction of the comparison is reversed. It is read differently, because the segments overlap, rather than being disjoint.

-7 < x < -1 . . . . . . . . solution to the second inequality: x is greater than -7 and less than -1.

__

These descriptions match choice B.
