X + 8 >= 18
(>= means greater than or equal to)
x + 8 - 8 >= 18 - 8
x >= 10
Answer: 11
Explanation: You did everything right in terms of the steps you took. It looks like you accidentally wrote "1" instead of "-4" as the answer to "2(-2)".

Consider, LHS

We know,

We know,

So, using this identity, we get

can be rewritten as

<h2>Hence,</h2>


The axis of symmetry for this parabola is the x-axis. The general form of the equation is:
4p(x-h) = (y-k)^2
where the focus has the coordinates of (h+p,k)
Manipulating the given equation to the general form:
4(1/3)(x-7)^2 = (y - 0)^2
Therefore the coordinates of the focus is:
(7+(1/3),0)
The answer is A.) (71/3,0)
