What is the equation of a quadratic graph with a focus of (-4,17/8) and a detric of y=15/8 answer

Mathematics

Nonamiya [84]3 years ago

keeping in mind that the vertex is between the focus point and the directrix, in this cases we have the focus point above the directrix, meaning is a vertical parabola opening upwards, Check the picture below, which means the "x" is the squared variable.

now, the vertical distance from the focus point to the directrix is \bf \cfrac{17}{8}-\cfrac{15}{8}\implies \cfrac{2}{8} , which means the distance "p" is half that or 1/8, and is positive since it's opening upwards.

since the vertex is 1/8 above the directrix, that puts the vertex at \bf \cfrac{15}{8}+\stackrel{p}{\cfrac{1}{8}}\implies \cfrac{16}{8}\implies 2 , meaning the y-coordinate for the vertex is 2.

\bf \textit{vertical parabola vertex form with focus point distance} \\\\ 4p(y- k)=(x- h)^2 \qquad \begin{cases} \stackrel{vertex}{(h,k)}\qquad \stackrel{focus~point}{(h,k+p)}\qquad \stackrel{directrix}{y=k-p}\\\\ p=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\ \qquad \textit{ focus or directrix}\\\\ \stackrel{"p"~is~negative}{op ens~\cap}\qquad \stackrel{"p"~is~positive}{op ens~\cup} \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf \begin{cases} h=-4\\ k=2\\ p=\frac{1}{8} \end{cases}\implies 4\left(\frac{1}{8} \right)(y-2)=[x-(-4)]^2\implies \cfrac{1}{2}(y-2)=(x+4)^2 \\\\\\ y-2=2(x+4)^2\implies \blacktriangleright y = 2(x+4)^2+2 \blacktriangleleft

Evaluate:<br> -9 + 25 - (-10) + (-6)
Minchanka [31]
-9 is a negative number, so plus 25, it would be 16. The minus sign and the negative sign of -10 cancel out, so it is plus 10, ending up with 26. Finally, the + and - becomes negative (positive times negative equals negative), so it is -6 and you’ll end up with a final answer of 20.
