Answer:

y²-12x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating the equation of a parabola is y² = 4ax

and x = a

To find the equation of the parabola with focus (3, 0) and directrix x = –3,

The point given (x,y) = (3,0) and x = -3

From the data given, it can be seen that a = -3 by simply comparing x = a with x = -3

Similarly, x = 3 from the given point.

Substituting the value of x = -3 in the formula for equation of a parabola gives;

y² = 4(-3)x

y²= -12x

y²-12x = 0

Answer:

x = \frac{1}{12} y²

Step-by-step explanation:

Any point (x, y ) on the parabola is equidistant from the focus and the directrix

Using the distance formula, then

\sqrt{(x-3)^2+(y-0)^2} = | x + 3 |

Squaring both sides

(x - 3)² + y² = (x + 3)² ← expanding both sides

x² - 6x + 9 + y² = x² + 6x + 9 ← subtract x² + 6x + 9 from both sides

- 12x + y² = 0 ( subtract y² from both sides )

- 12x = - y² ( divide both sides by - 12 )

x = \frac{1}{12} y²

hammer [34]

Answer:

x = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 2x from both sides

2x + 10 = -14

Step 2: Subtract 10 from both sides

2x = -24

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2

x = -12

For breakfast, Clarissa can choose from oatmeal, cereal, French toast, or scrambled eggs. She thinks that if she selects a break
makvit [3.9K]

Clarissa is not correct. If she were to choose one from the stack at random, it means that she has a 25%, or a 1/4 chance to pick the oatmeal, just like the other breakfast items.

If there were to be more oatmeals than any of the other items, it will heighten the chance of her getting oatmeal which would be the only way to make her statement correct.
