Find the equation of the parabola with focus (5, 1) and directrix y = -1.

Mathematics

Check the picture below.

since the focus point is above the directrix, that simply means the parabola is a vertical one, and therefore the square variable is the "x".

keeping in mind that, there's a distance "p" from the vertex to either the focus point or the directrix, that puts the vertex half-way between those fellows, in this case at 0, right between 1 and -1, as you see in the picture, and the parabola looks like so.

since the parabola is opening upwards, the value for "p" is positive, thus

\bf \textit{parabola vertex form with focus point distance}
\\\\
\begin{array}{llll}
4p(x- h)=(y- k)^2
\\\\
\boxed{4p(y- k)=(x- h)^2}
\end{array}
\qquad 
\begin{array}{llll}
vertex\ ( h, k)\\\\
 p=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\
\qquad \textit{ focus or directrix}
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\begin{cases}
h=5\\
k=0\\
p=1
\end{cases}\implies 4(1)(y-0)=(x-5)^2
\\\\\\
4y=(x-5)^2\implies  y=\cfrac{1}{4}(x-5)^2

Actually Welcome to the concept of Parallel lines.

We must first understand that, Parallel Lines always have a same Slope, hence the 'm' value in y=mx+c equation will same, here it is '1/2' in the above equation,

so the points here are (-6,-17)

==>

(y-(-17)) = m(x-(-6))

==>

here m = 1/2 ,hence

y+17 = 1/2(x+6)

==> y+17 = 1/2(x) + 3

==> y = 1/2(x) + 3 - 17

==> y = 1/2(x) - 14

hence the Option 4.) is the correct answer!!

The temperature of a city is recorded at midnight on the last days of four consecutive months
Serhud [2]

Answer:

26 degrees Celcius

Step-by-step explanation:

The minimum temperature is -11

The maximum temperature is 15

to get from -11 to 0: add 11

to get from 0 to 15: add 15

11+15 = 26

What is the difference? startfraction 2 x 5 over x squared minus 3 x endfraction minus startfraction 3 x 5 over x cubed minus 9
weeeeeb [17]

The difference of the expression \frac{2x^5}{x^2 - 3x} - \frac{3x^5}{x^3 - 9x} is \frac{2x^5(x + 3) - 3x^5}{x(x - 3)(x + 3)}

<h3>How to determine the difference?</h3>

The expression is given as:

\frac{2x^5}{x^2 - 3x} - \frac{3x^5}{x^3 - 9x}

Factor the denominators of the expressions:

\frac{2x^5}{x(x - 3)} - \frac{3x^5}{x(x^2 - 9)}

Apply the difference of two squares to x² - 9

\frac{2x^5}{x(x - 3)} - \frac{3x^5}{x(x - 3)(x + 3)}

Take LCM

\frac{2x^5(x + 3) - 3x^5}{x(x - 3)(x + 3)}

Hence, the difference of the expression \frac{2x^5}{x^2 - 3x} - \frac{3x^5}{x^3 - 9x} is \frac{2x^5(x + 3) - 3x^5}{x(x - 3)(x + 3)}

D+7/−3=4<br> What is d?<br> Thanks!
givi [52]

Answer

\boxed {d= \frac{19}{3}}


Solution

Simplify both sides of the equation.


\frac{7}{3} + \frac{-7}{3}


We are left with d = 4+\frac{7}{3}


Add

\frac{12}{3}+\frac{7}{3} =\frac{19}{3}


Hence, d = \frac{19}{3}
