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}}

Identify the graph of 3i (See figures).
iren2701 [21]
Any complex number can be written in fallowing form:
Z = x + yi

When drawing complex numbers as point on x,y coordinate system we can use variables x and y to represent our coordinates in x y coordinate system.

Our complex number is:
Z = 3i which means
x = 0 and y = 3
x is real part of complex number and we draw it on x axis (real number axis) and y is imaginery part and we draw it on y axis (imaginery axis)

answer is point with coordinates (0,3) Graph 1

You randomly survey men and women about whether they plan to watch a football game on Sunday afternoon. A total of 40 men plan t
Alecsey [184]

Answer: 101

Step-by-step explanation:

45 women total

17 women will not watch the game

So 33 people did not want to watch the game and 17 are women

33-17 = 16 men who won’t watch the game

So 40 men who will and 16 men who won’t equals 56 men and 45 women

56+45= 101

What is -2f + 4/5f ?
Mademuasel [1]
8-4/5f=-14-2f
Multiply both sides by 5
40-4f=-70-10f
Move variable to left and change signs
-4f+10f=-70-40
Combine like terms
6x=-70-40
6f=-110
Divide both sides by 6
F=-55/3
