The equation of the vertical parabola in vertex form is written as
Where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and p is the focal distance.
The directrix of a parabola is a line which every point of the parabola is equally distant to this line and the focus of the parabola. The vertex is located between the focus and the directrix, therefore, the distance between the y-coordinate of the vertex and the directrix represents the focal distance.
Using this value for p and (3, 1) as the vertex, we have our equation
Hey there!
6 divided by 5 = 1.2
Hope this helps!
Have a great day! (:
Answer:
C.) 63
Step-by-step explanation:
You know what you insisted on me answering, so I'll answer here.
35 ÷ 5 = 7
7 x 9 = 63
Answer:D I think might be wrong
Step-by-step explanation:
The <em>correct answers</em> are:
C) No: we would need to know if the vertex is a minimum or a maximum; and
C)( 0.25, 5.875).
Explanation:
The domain of any quadratic function is all real numbers.
The range, however, would depend on whether the quadratic was open upward or downward. If the vertex is a maximum, then the quadratic opens down and the range is all values of y less than or equal to the y-coordinate of the vertex.
If the vertex is a minimum, then the quadratic opens up and the range is all values of y greater than or equal to the y-coordinate of the vertex.
There is no way to identify from the coordinates of the vertex whether it is a maximum or a minimum, so we cannot tell what the range is.
The graph of the quadratic function is shown in the attachment. Tracing it, the vertex is at approximately (0.25, 0.5875).
