Write the equation in vertex form for the parabola with vertex ( 0, - 4 ) and focus ( 0, - 5 ) .

1 answer:

4 0

This parabola is a vertical one, symmetrical about the y-axis. It opens DOWN. We know that because the focus is beneath the vertex.

We need to write this equation in the form y-k = 4p(x-h)^2, where (h,k) is the vertex. p represents the distance between the vertex and the focus, and is
|-4-(-5)|, or 1.

Thus, y-(-4) = 4(1)(x-0)^2, or y+4 = 4x^2.

What equation would you use to find the measure of

PIT_PIT [208]

The figure is a parallelogram, and in a parallelogram, the lower side and the upper side have the same length. Also, the left side and the right side have the same length. This is shown in the following image:

The red sides are equal, and the blue sides are equal.

Thus, since the blue sides are equal, we can use the following equation to find x:
