The equation of a parabola whose vertex is (0, 0) and focus is (1 / 8, 0) is equal to x = 2 · y².

<h3>How to derive the equation of the parabola from the locations of the vertex and focus</h3>

Herein we have the case of a parabola whose axis of symmetry is parallel to the x-axis. The <em>standard</em> form of the equation of this parabola is shown below:

(x - h) = [1 / (4 · p)] · (y - k)²     (1)

Where:

  • (h, k) - Coordinates of the vertex.
  • p - Distance from the vertex to the focus.

The distance from the vertex to the focus is 1 / 8. If we know that the location of the vertex is (0, 0), then the <em>standard</em> form of the equation of the parabola is:

x = 2 · y²     (1)

The equation of a parabola whose vertex is (0, 0) and focus is (1 / 8, 0) is equal to x = 2 · y².

Write the polynomial in standard form. Identify the degree and leading coefficient of the polynomial. Then classify the polynomi
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

Standard form: 2c^4 + 6c^2 - c

Degree: 4th

Leading coefficient: 2

Classification: Trinomial

Step-by-step explanation:

In standard form, you have to put the term with the highest exponent first.

With finding the degree, you just look at the highest exponent and that's the degree. 4 is the highest exponent, so it is to the 4th degree.

The leading coefficient is the number attached to the highest exponent. 4 is the highest and the number attached to it is 2.

Classification goes by how many terms there are. Since there are 3, it's trinomial. Tri as in three.
