The vertex of a parabola is (0,0)and the focus is (1/8, 0) . What is the equation of the parabola?
1 answer:
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.

Answer:
No. The depth of the water is less than the required depth(2.5 inches<4 inches)
Step-by-step explanation:
-The deepest point of the half-filled vase is the point perpendicular to the sphere's midpoint.
-This point is equivalent to the extreme end of the radius.
-Since, the diameter is 5 inches, the radius is:
2.5inches<4 inches
Hence, the water is not deep enough for the flowers.
