Find the equation of the parabola whose vertex is the origin and whose directrix is x=-4

Mathematics
1 answer:
Nimfa-mama [501]2 years ago
8 0
The standard form of equation of parabola is (x-h)^2=4p(y-k) where the directrix is y=k-p and the vertex is as point (h,k).
Thus given that the vertex is at (0,0)
y=k-p
the value of p will be:
-4=0-p
p=4
thus the equation will be:
(x-0)^2=4*4(y-0)
x^2=16y
hence;
y=1/16x^2
the answer is y=1/16x^2

Right equation of the line that passes through (-1,5) and has a slope of 3 in point slope form.
MrRissso [65]
\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1\\
%  (a,b)
&&(~ -1 &,& 5~)
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope  = m
slope =  m\implies 3
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-5=3[x-(-1)]
\implies 
y-5=3(x+1)

What is the discriminant of the polynomial below 2x^2+5x-8
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

89 2 irrational roots

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant Is b²-4ac when the equation is in the form

ax²+bx+c so in the equation

a=2 b=5 and c=-8

plug into the equation for the discriminant

so 5²-4(2)(-8)

25-(-64) 2 negatives make a positive so

25+64=89

since 89 isn’t a perfect square 2 irrational roots

Which numbers complete the blanks when solving the equation cos(x+2π) = - √2/2 over the interval [0,2π]
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

x = 3π/4, 5π/4

Step-by-step explanation:

cos(x+2π) = -√2/2, [0,2π]

cos(x)cos(2π)-sin(x)sin(2π) = -√2/2

cos(x) = -√2/2

x = 3π/4, 5π/4

Remember that the cosine function is periodic, so cos(θ+2π)=cos(θ).
