Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First confirm that x = 1 is one of the zeros.
f(1) = 2(1)^3 - 14(1)^2 + 38(1) - 26
f(1) = 2 - 14 + 38 - 26
f(1) = -12 + 38 = + 26
f(1) = 26 - 26
f(1) = 0
=========================
next perform a long division
x -1 || 2x^3 - 14x^2 + 38x - 26 || 2x^2 - 12x + 26
2x^3 - 2x^2
===========
-12x^2 + 28x
-12x^2 +12x
==========
26x -26
26x - 26
========
0
Now you can factor 2x^2 - 12x + 26
2(x^2 - 6x + 13)
The discriminate of the quadratic is negative. (36 - 4*1*13) = - 16
So you are going to get a complex result.
x = -(-6) +/- sqrt(-16)
=============
2
x = 3 +/- 2i
f(x) = 2*(x - 1)*(x - 3 + 2i)*(x - 3 - 2i)
The zeros are
1
3 +/- 2i
ANSWER
EXPLANATION
Since the parabola has the (0, 0) and the directrix at y=2.
The equation is of the form
where (h,k) is the vertex.
The vertex is half way between the directrix and the focus.
The vertex will be at (0,1)
and is the distance from the vertex to the focus which is 1.
Your answer will be 1 19/20
hope this helps
