What is the focus of the parabola? y=−1/4x^2−x+3

Mathematics

Delvig [45]4 years ago

We know that
the equation of the parabola is of the form
y=ax²+bx+c

in this problem
y=−1/4x²<span>−x+3
where
a=-1/4
b=-1
c=3

</span><span> the coordinates of the focus are
</span>
(-b/2a,(1-D)/4a)
where
D is the discriminant b²-4ac
D=(-1)²-4*(-1/4)*3-----> D=1+3---> D=4
therefore
x coordinate of the focus
-b/2a----> 1/[2*(-1/4)]----> -2

y coordinate of the focus
(1-D)/4a------> (1-4)/(-4/4)---> 3

the coordinates of the focus are
(-2,3)

Solve the equation. 3g - 49 = 7
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

G= 56/3

Step-by-step explanation:

56/3 is an ugly number if you ask me but it was the answer I got, and here's how I got it!

So first off you want to change -49 to a positive and add it to 7! This will change the equation to 3g=56, from here just divide 56 by 3! Which if you don't turn into a fraction it'll just be a really long number. So g=56/3! If you have any more questions feel free to ask!
