The equation of the parabola is (y-1)^2 = 16(x+3)
1 answer:
We know that
if the y terms is squared so it opens left or right
Is a Horizontal Parabola, the equation is of the form
(y-k)²=4(p)(x-h)
vertex is (h,k)
and
p is distance from focus to vertex, also distance from vertex to directrix
if p>0, then it opens to the right and directrix is to the left of vertex
if p<0, then it opens to the left and directrix is to the right of vertex
so
(y-1)²=4(4)(x-(-3))
vertex is (-3,1)
4>0 so directrix is to left of vertex
left is in x direction
-3-4=-7
directrix is x=-7
the answer is
x=-7
see the attached figure

Area inside the semi-circle and outside the triangle is (91.125π - 120) in²
Solution:
Base of the triangle = 10 in
Height of the triangle = 24 in
Area of the triangle =
Area of the triangle = 120 in²
Using Pythagoras theorem,
Taking square root on both sides, we get
Hypotenuse = 23 inch = diameter
Radius = 23 ÷ 2 = 11.5 in
Area of the semi-circle =
Area of the semi-circle = 91.125π in²
Area of the shaded portion = (91.125π - 120) in²
Area inside the semi-circle and outside the triangle is (91.125π - 120) in².
