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

Mathematics

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

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

They are similar by the definition of similarity in terms of a dilation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is finding the sides of each triangle.

In triangle GHI, we have that:

GH = sqrt((4-2)^2 + (8-4)^2) = 4.4721

HI = sqrt((8-4)^2 + (4-8)^2) = 5.6569

IG = sqrt((2-8)^2 + (4-4)^2) = 6

Now, for the triangle JKL, we have:

JK = sqrt((2-1)^2 + (3-1)^2) = 2.2361

KL = sqrt((4-2)^2 + (1-3)^2) = 2.8284

LJ = sqrt((1-4)^2 + (1-1)^2) = 3

The triangles are not congruent, because the sides are different

They are similar, because their sides have a proportion (sides of GHI are 2 times the sides of JKL). If they are similar, they have the same angles.

The ratio of their corresponding sides is 1:2, not 1:3

The ratio of their corresponding angles is 1:1, not 1:3

Answer:

g = 61.

Step-by-step explanation:

g + 9 = 70             Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation:

g + 9 - 9 = 70 - 9

g = 61.

Which angle in triangle DEF has the largest measure?​
nordsb [41]

Answer:

D is the largest angle

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle opposite the largest side is the largest and the angle opposite the smallest side is the smallest.

Since 12 is the largest side, angle D is the largest

8 is the smallest side, F is the smallest angle
