Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
(-3x/2) - 3 = 3
add 3 to both sides
(-3x/2) = 3
multiply both sides by 2
-3x = 6
divide both sides by -3
x= -2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: let 2:3:5:8 be 2x,3x,5x,8x respectively .
*angles in a quadrilateral is 360 degree
*2x+3x+5x+8x=360
*18x=360
*x=360/18
*x=20
now substitute x in these:
2x=2x20=40
3x=3x20=60
5x=5x20=100
8x=8x20= 160
so these are the following angles: 40,60,100 and 160
The sketch of the parabola is attached below
We have the focus

The point

The directrix, c at

The steps to find the equation of the parabola are as follows
Step 1
Find the distance between the focus and the point P using Pythagoras. We have two coordinates;

and

.
We need the vertical and horizontal distances to find the hypotenuse (the diagram is shown in the second diagram).
The distance between the focus and point P is given by

Step 2
Find the distance between the point P to the directrix

. It is a vertical distance between y and c, expressed as

Step 3
The equation of parabola is then given as

=


⇒ substituting a, b and c


⇒Rearranging and making
