Answer:

$\Large\boxed{\sf{x < -\dfrac{1}{10} }}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the solutions, you must isolate the inequality on one side of the equation.

7x+2<-3x+1

First, you subtract by 2 from both sides.

7x+2-2<-3x+1-2

Solve.

Subtract the numbers from left to right.

7x<-3x-1

Add by 3x from both sides.

7x+3x<-3x-1+3x

Solve.

7x+3x=10x

10x<-1

Then, you divide by 10 from both sides.

10x/10<-1/10

Solve.

Divide these numbers goes from left to right.

$\Longrightarrow: \boxed{\sf{x < -\dfrac{1}{10} }}$

Therefore, the final answer is x<-1/10.

I hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions.

A parabola has a focus of F(2, -0.5) and a directrix of y=-1.5 P(x,y) represents any point on the parabola, while D(x, -1.5) rep

prohojiy [21]

The sketch of the parabola is attached below

We have the focus $(a,b) = (2, -0.5)$
The point $P(x,y)$
The directrix, c at $y=-1.5$

The steps to find the equation of the parabola are as follows

Step 1
Find the distance between the focus and the point P using Pythagoras. We have two coordinates; $(2, -0.5)$ and $(x,y)$ .
We need the vertical and horizontal distances to find the hypotenuse (the diagram is shown in the second diagram).
The distance between the focus and point P is given by
$\sqrt{ (x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2} }$

Step 2
Find the distance between the point P to the directrix $c$ . It is a vertical distance between y and c, expressed as $y-c$

Step 3
The equation of parabola is then given as
$\sqrt{ (x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2} }$ = $y-c$
$(x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2}= (y-c)^{2}$ ⇒ substituting a, b and c
$(x-2)^{2}+ (y--0.5)^{2} = (y--1.5)^{2}$
$(x-2)^{2}+ (y+0.5)^{2}= (y+1.5)^{2}$ ⇒Rearranging and making $y$ the subject gives

$y= \frac{ x^{2} }{2} -2x+1$
