Answer with explanation:
→→Information given about Parabola
Vertex of the Parabola = (0,0)
Focus is located on the positive x- axis.
Definition of Parabola: A parabola is locus of all the points such that distance from a fixed point known as focus to distance from a fixed line called, Directrix is always constant.
Let focus of the parabola be (k,0), where , k>0.
Distance between vertex (0,0) and focus(k,0) = Distance between vertex (0,0) and point on negative x-axis (-k,0).
Directrix will pass through point (-k,0).
So, equation of Directrix will be, x= -k
Directrix will pass through
Option B: The Negative part of the x -axis.

Answer:
1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
The tangent line to f(x) at x=2 goes through the point (2, 8) and has slope 4.
The inverse function f⁻¹(x) is a reflection of the function f(x) across the line y=x. The corresponding tangent line will go through point (8, 2) and have slope 1/f'(2) = 1/4 at that point. That is, ...
(f⁻¹)'(8) = 1/f'(f⁻¹(8)) = 1/f'(2) = 1/4
