Answer:

  • vertex: (8, 1)
  • p-value: -2
  • opens downward

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex of a parabola is halfway between the focus and the directrix. The p-value of the equation is half the distance from the focus to the directrix. The parabola opens around the focus, away from the directrix.

__

<h3>vertex</h3>

That is, the vertex will lie on the same vertical line, but have a y-coordinate that is the average of the y-values of the focus and directrix. Here, that means the y-value of the vertex is ...

  (directrix +focus)/2 = (3 +(-2))/2 = 1

The focus is on the vertical line x=8. The coordinates of the vertex are (8, 1).

__

<h3>p-value</h3>

The parameter "p" is part of the leading coefficient of the quadratic defining the parabola. It fits into the vertex-form equation as shown here:

  y=\dfrac{1}{4\mathbf{p}}(x-h)^2+k\qquad\text{vertex at $(h,k)$}

The value of p is the distance from the focus to the vertex. When the focus is below the vertex, as here, the value of p will be negative.

  p = (focus y-value) - (vertex y-value) = (-1) -1

  p = -2

__

<h3>opening</h3>

The focus lies "inside" the parabola, and the directrix lies "outside." The parabola "wraps around" the focus, away from the directrix. When the focus is below the directrix, the parabola opens downward. (The leading coefficient of the equation is negative, telling you the same thing.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The parabola is the set of points equidistant from the focus and directrix. Thus it should come as no surprise that the vertex is equidistant from the focus and directrix. They lie on the same vertical line when the directrix is horizontal.

The <em>latus rectum</em> is the line segment parallel to the directrix, through the focus, with end points on the parabola. Its end points always lie on a line with slope ±1/2 through the vertex. This can help you find (or verify) the focus graphically.

Answer:

If you sketch the directrix and the focus, the vertex is halfway between them. It would be (-8,-1)

The p value is the distance from the focus to the vertex and the distance between the vertex and the directrix (they are the same) p=3.

The direction of the focus from the vertex will show which way it opens. The one opens down.

Question Help Find the original price of a pair of shoes if the sale price is $11 after a 75% discount.
fenix001 [56]
If it was a 75% discount, then u r actually paying 25%

so....25% of the original price is $ 11

0.25x = 11
x = 11 / 0.25
x = 44 <=== the original price

James calculated the height of a cylinder that has a volume of 324 pi cubic inches and a radius of 12 in his work is shown below
wel

Answer:

13.5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

V=Bn

Step 1: 3245 - 12h

Step 2: 324 = 24 sh

324 24

Step 3: 245 245

Step 4: h-13.5

inches

What is the first error that James made when calculating the height of the cylinder?

In step 1, he substituted into the volume formula incorrectly.

In step 2, he calculated 122 incorrectly. It should be 144 rather than 24.

In step 4, the should have canceled, making the correct answer 13.5 cm.

James calculated the height of the cylinder correctly

What are the slope and y-intercept for the graph of y – 3x = -1?
Liula [17]

Answer:

Slope (m) = 3, y-intercept (b) = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to write the equation in y = mx + b.

To do this, add 3x to both sides.

y = 3x - 1 is your result.

Now, we have everything we need to do determine our slope and y-intercept in just this equation alone.

Remember, m = slope and b = y-intercept.

In this equation:

m = 3

b = -1

So your slope is 3, and your y-intercept is -1
