A standard form of the equation of a rotated parabola is
(y - k)² = 4p(x - h)
where
(h, k) is the location of the vertex.
(h+p, k) is the location of the focus.
The directrix is the line x = h - p

Because the focus is at (-1, 4), therefore
h + p = -1         (1)
k = 4               (2)

Because the directrix is x = 5, therefore
h - p = 5          (3)

Add equations(1) and (3) to obtain
h + p + (h - p) = -1 + 5
2h = 4
h = 2
From (1), obtain
p = -1 - h = -1 - 2 = -3

The equation of the parabola is
(y - 4)² = -12(x - 2)

Answer:   (y - 4)² = -12(x - 2)

Determine whether the ffunction X/(x^2-1) is odd even or neither
djyliett [7]

equation is:

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

so if its even f(-x) should be equal to f(x)

that means

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

so f(x) is not equal to f(-x) so its not even

If its odd than f(-x) should be equal to -f(x)

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

so as we can see f(-x)= - f(x)

so the function is odd

Ans:function is odd and not even

a rectangular prism with a volume of 10 cubic units is filled with cubes with side lenghts of 1/2 unit how many 1/2 unit cubes d
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cube is

V=s^3, we are told the volume is 10u^3 and that it will be filled with cubes having a side of 1/2 so

n(1/2)^3=10, where n will be the number of these small cubes

n(1/8)=10 upon multiplying each side by 8

n=80

So it will take 80 cubes of side length 1/2 to have a volume equal to 10u^3

Find the area and the circumference of a circle with diameter 9 yards using the value 3.14 for pi
Ray Of Light [21]
Area of circle = pi r^, (r)radius is half the diameter so 9÷2=4.5 so in this scenario it would be 3.14×4.5^
3.14×4.5×4.5=63.6

circumference of circle= diameter×pi (3.14)
so 9×3.14=28.3
