Answer:

(x+5)^2=12(y-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that focus of parabola at (-5,5).

Equation of directrix y=-1

We have to derive the equation of parabola

We know that the parabola is the set of points (x,y) equally distant from (-5,5) and (x,-1).

Distance formula

\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Apply this formula

\sqrt{(x+5)^2+(y-5)^2}=\sqrt{(x-x)^2+(y+1)^2}

Squaring on both sides then we get

(x+5)^2+(y-5)^2=(y+1)^2

(x+5)^2+y^2-10y+25=y^2+2y+1  ((a-b)^2=a^2+b^2-2ab,(a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2ab)

(x+5)^2=y^2+2y+1-y^2+10y-25

(x+5)^2=12y-24

(x+5)^2=12(y-2)

This is required equation of parabola along y- axis.

Answer:

  • x = 17
  • y = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

In the left problem, you use the fact that <em>the sum of the segment lengths is equal to the overall length</em>.

  AC +CB = AB

  (3x -4) +(x -2) = 62

  4x -6 = 62 . . . . . collect terms

  4x = 68 . . . . . . . add 6

  x = 17 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

__

In the right problem, you use the fact that <em>the sum of the angles is equal to the overall angle</em>. Here, that overall angle is a linear angle, so measures 180°.

  ∠DFG +∠GFE = ∠DFE

  (5y +3) +(2y -5) = 180

  7y = 182 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms, add 2

  y = 26 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 7
