The directrix of a parabola is y=−4y=−4 . The focus of the parabola is (−2,−2)(−2,−2) .

Dennis_Churaev [7]3 years ago

Because the focus is (-2,-2) and the directrix is y = -4, the vertex is (-2,-3).

Consider an arbitrary point (x,y) on the parabola.
The square of the distance between the focus and P is
(y+2)² + (x+2)²
The square of the distance from the point to the directrix is
(y+4)²

Therefore
(y+4)² = (y+2)² + (x+2)²
y² + 8y + 16 = y² + 4y + 4 + (x+2)²
4y = (x+2)² - 12
y = (1/4)(x+2)² - 3

Answer: y= \frac{1}{4} (x+2)^{2} - 3

NNADVOKAT [17]
1.) You have 12 toppings. You choose one topping--that leaves you with 11 toppings. You choose another--that leaves 10. 12×11×10 = 1,320.
Multiply 1,320 topping choices by 6 cheeses to get 7,920 total combinations.

Find which term in the geometric sequence 1,3,9,27,... is the first to exceed 7,000.
Zielflug [23.3K]

The common ratio between terms is 3, so the sequence has general n-th term

a_n=3^{n-1}

for n\ge1. The term exceeds 7000 when

3^{n-1}>7000\implies n-1>\log_37000\implies n>1+\log_37000\approx9.06

which means the first time a_n exceeds 7000 occurs when n=10. Indeed,

a_{10}=3^{10-1}=19,683

while the previous term would have been

a_9=3^{9-1}=6561
