Answer:

To find the quadratic equation:

Assume any point (x, y) on parabola.

Use the distance formula i.e, \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}

Distance between (x , y) and focus (-4 , \frac{-5}{4}) is:

\sqrt{(x+4)^2 +(y+\frac{5}{4})^2 }

Now, the distance between (x, y) and directrix of y = \frac{27}{4} is:

\sqrt{(y-\frac{27}{4})^2 }

On the parabola these distance are same;

\sqrt{(x+4)^2 +(y+\frac{5}{4})^2 } = \sqrt{(y-\frac{27}{4})^2 }

(x+4)^2 + (y+\frac{5}{4})^2 = (y-\frac{27}{4})^2

(x+4)^2 + y^2+\frac{25}{16}+\frac{5}{2}y = y^2+\frac{729}{16}-\frac{27}{2}y

or

(x+4)^2 = y^2+\frac{729}{16}-\frac{27}{2}y -y^2-\frac{25}{16}-\frac{5}{2}y

Simplify:

(x+4)^2 = \frac{729-25}{16}-\frac{27+5}{2}y

(x+4)^2 = \frac{704}{16}-\frac{32}{2}y

Simplify:

(x+4)^2 =44-16y  

or

16y = -(x+4)^2+44

Divide both sides by 16 we get;

y = \frac{-1}{16}(x+4)^2 + \frac{44}{16}

y = \frac{-1}{16}(x^2+16+8x) + \frac{11}{4}

or

y= \frac{-1}{16}x^2-1-\frac{1}{2}x+ \frac{11}{4}

Simplify:

y= \frac{-1}{16}x^2-\frac{1}{2}x+ \frac{7}{4}

therefore, the equation of the quadratic is; f(x) =negative one sixteenthsx^2 − one half x + seven-fourths.

1. 2 |-9| <br> 2. 4 |-4| <br> 3. 1 |1| <br> 4. 11 |11| <br> 5. 9 |-2|
Zielflug [23.3K]

The absolute value is the distance the number is from zero. For example, the absolute value of -4 is 4 and the absolute value of 4 is 4. Also |-24| is 24.

The absolute value of -9 is 9. 2 times 9 is 18.

The absolute value of -4 is 4. 4 times 4 is 16.

The absolute value of 1 is 1. 1 times 1 is 1.

The absolute value of 1 is 11. 11 times 11 is 121.

The absolute value of -2 is 2. 9 times 2 is 18.

The opposite of a number is the difference it is from zero but on the other side (opposite sign). For example, the opposite of -5 is 5, and the opposite of 2 is -2.

11 is opposite of -11.

-8 is opposite of 8.

31 is opposite of -31.

-1 is opposite of 1.

-17 is opposite of 17.

Solve for v in terms of s, t, u, and w.<br> wv=uts<br><br> v=___
laiz [17]

wv=uts\implies v=\frac{uts}{w}

we needed to eliminate w, do so by diving both sides by w and obtain the above result :)

Hope this helps.

( -8.7 ) • ( -10 ) = ?
Ber [7]

Answer:

87

Step-by-step explanation:

A negative times a negative always equals a positive, and 10 times anything is just moving the decimal point to the right once, so 8.7 becomes 87.0
