What is the equation of the quadratic graph with a focus of (3,4) and a drirectrix of y =8

Mathematics
1 answer:
Pie3 years ago
8 0

check the picture below.  So the parabola looks more or less like so.


bearing in mind that the distance "p" is the same from the vertex to the directrix or the focus point, so the vertex is therefore half-way between those two fellows, now, from 3,4 up to y = 8, there are 4 units, and the vertex is half-way, thus is at y = 6, and x = 3, (3, 6) as you see there in the picture.

the parabola is vertical, meaning the squared variable is the "x", and is opening downwards, meaning the "p" distance is negative, so since "p" is 2 units, then p = -2.


\bf \textit{parabola vertex form with focus point distance}
\\\\
4p(y- k)=(x- h)^2
\qquad
\begin{array}{llll}
vertex\ ( h, k)\\\\ p=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\
\qquad \textit{ focus or directrix}
\end{array}
\\\\[-0.35em]
\rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\
\begin{cases}
h=3\\
k=6\\
p=-2
\end{cases}\implies 4(-2)(y-6)=(x-3)^2\implies -8(y-6)=(x-3)^2
\\\\\\
y-6=\cfrac{(x-3)^2}{-8}\implies \blacktriangleright y=-\cfrac{1}{8}(x-3)^2+6 \blacktriangleleft

A scuba diver is swimming 15 feet below the water’s surface. The diver swims up slowly at 0.5 feet per second for 4 seconds; and
STatiana [176]
0.5 x 4 = 2 feet / 2 feet in 4 seconds
15 - 2 = 13
New depth: 13 feet

0.4 x 3 = 1.2 feet / 1.2 feet in 3 seconds
13 - 1.2 = 11.8
New depth: 11.8 feet

Solve the equation <br> 4^(x+5)=16 (x-3)
Harrizon [31]
4 ⁽ˣ⁺⁵⁾ = 16 (x-3)

Simplify.

4x + 20 = 16x - 48

Subtract 16x from both sides, as well as subtracting 20 from both sides.

4x - 16x = -48 - 20

Add like terms.

-12x = -68

Divide both sides by -12

x = 5 2/3
