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}}

2=5 ; 3=9 ; 4=48 ; 5=220 ; 6=1,350<br> THEN 8 = ?
loris [4]

IF

2=5 ;

3=9 ; 3*5 - 3*2

4=48 ; 4*9 + 4*3

5=220 ; 5*48 - 5*4

6=1,350 6*220 + 6*5

7= 9408 7*1350 - 7*6

THEN 8 = 8*9408 + 8*7 = 75320
