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

Mathematics
1 answer:
Delvig [45]3 years ago
5 0
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)

olga_2 [115]
She needs to score a 91 on her next test because 85+78+77+69+91=400 and 400 divided by 5 gives you a mean of 80.

The graphs below have the same shape the equation of the red graph is f(x) =x^2. What is the equation of the blue graph?
daser333 [38]

Answer:

G(x)=(x-6)^2

which agrees with the answer D of your options

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the graph of G(x) has the initial graph shifted horizontally to the right in 6 units, therefore such horizontal shift is accomplished by subtracting the 6 units from the x-variable in the original expression:

G(x)=(x-6)^2

Violet was carrying around the steps to solve Square root of 3x plus 1 = 4. On her way through the Math Factory, Violet dropped
Dominik [7]

First, square both sides (d.) leaving 3x + 1 = 16
Second, subtract 1 from both sides (a.) leaving 3x = 15
Third, divide by 3 from both sides (e.) leaving x = 5
Answer: First D, then A, then E
