Answer:

f(x)=-\frac{1}{8}(x-3)^2+3

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the equation of the parabola with a focus of (3,1) and directrix y=5.

Considering the directrix, the quadratic graph must open downwards.


The equation of this parabola is given by the formula,

(x-h)^2=4p(y-k), where (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola.


The axis of this parabola meets the directrix at (3,5).

Since the vertex is the midpoint of the focus and the point of intersection of the axis of the parabola and the directrix,


h=\frac{3+3}{2}=3 and k=\frac{5+1}{2}=3.


The equation of the parabola now becomes,


(x-3)^2=4p(y-3).


Also |p| is the distance between the vertex and the directrix.


|p|=2


This implies that p=-2\:or\:2.


Since the parabola turns downwards,


p=-2.



Our equation now becomes,


(x-3)^2=4(-2)(y-3).


(x-3)^2=-8(y-3).


We make y the subject to get,

y=-\frac{1}{8}(x-3)^2+3).


This is the same as

f(x)=-\frac{1}{8}(x-3)^2+3).

stepladder [879]
Ф is the angle of elevation to the topo of the building from G.
length of leg adyacent to angle Ф=40m
length of leg opposite to angle Ф=15 m
tan Ф=leg opposite / leg adyacent=15/40=0.375
Ф=arctan 0.375=20.56º

The angle of elevation to the top of the building from G is 20.56º.
