Consider the parabola represented by the equation -2y^2=4x

1 answer:

5 0

Part 1: The general form for this matches y^2 = -4cx, which implies that this opens to the left. (Imagine assigning any value of y, whether positive or negative, which would result in a positive left-hand value. Then to match this sign, the value of x must be negative so that the right-hand side becomes positive as well.)

Part 2: The distance from the vertex to the directrix is given by c. This equation has its vertex at the origin (0, 0). If it opens to the left, the directrix is a vertical line to the right of the origin. This equation is y^2 = -4(1/2)x, so c = 1/2, and the directrix has the equation x = 1/2.

Part 3: The focus is inside the parabola, but it is the same distance from the vertex as the directrix. This distance is 1/2 units, and it will be to the left of the vertex. So the focus is at (-1/2, 0).

Don't worry, I'll help you!

1. What is a function?

"In mathematics, a function is a relation between a set of inputs and a set of permissible outputs with the property that each input is related to exactly one output. An example is the function that relates each real number x to its square x2."

2. What is the difference between a linear and non-linear function?

"The equation of a linear function has no exponents higher than 1, and the graph of a linear function is a straight line. The equation of a nonlinear function has at least one exponent higher than 1, and the graph of a nonlinear function is a curved line."

3. Constant Interval, and how does it appear on a graph

Definition:
"Determine the intervals on which a function is increasing, decreasing or constant by looking at a graph. Determine if a function is even, odd, or neither by looking at a graph. Determine if a function is even, odd, or neither given an equation."

How does it appear on a graph?

"Functions can either be constant, increasing as x increases, or decreasing as x increases."

4. Identifying the rate of change

Yes, you can:

"Consider the line y = 2x + 1, shown at the right. Notice that this slope will be the same if the points (1,3) and (2, 5) are used for the calculations. For straight lines, therate of change (slope) is constant (always the same). For every one unit that is moved on the x-axis, two units are moved on the y-axis."

5. Determining if it is a linear function or not

"A linear function is in the form y = mx + b or f(x) = mx + b, where m is the slope or rate of change and b is the y-intercept or where the graph of the line crosses the y axis. You will notice that this function is degree 1 meaning that the x variable has an exponent of 1."

THAT IS IT!! YAY!!! HOPE THIS HELPED ON YOUR REVIEW!!

Sate the equation that relates arc length to central angle

kobusy [5.1K]

S =rO
The length of an arc is related to the radius and the central angle in the formula. s = rθ. where s is the arc length, r is the radius and θ is the angle in radians. Remember that to convert from radians to degrees, 2π radians = 360 degrees, so if φ = the angle in degrees, then the equation becomes this:
