Convert to (x-h)^2=4p(y-k) form
(h,k) is vertex
p is distance from vertex to directrix and from vertex to focus
if p is negative, then it opens down (directix is above vertex and focus)
if p is positive, then it opens up (directix is below vertex and focus)
complete the square for x
y=-5(x^2-12x)-176
y=-5(x^2-12x+36-36)-176
y=-5((x-6)^2-36)-176
y=-5(x-6)^2+180-176
y=-5(x-6)^2+4
minus 4 both sides
y-4=-5(x-6)^2
divide both side by -5
(-1/5)(y-4)=(x-6)^2
(4)(-1/20)(y-4)=(x-6)^2
vertex is (6,4)
negative so opens down, directix is 1/20 units down from (6,4)
4 is up and down so 4-1/20=3.95
the directix is (6,3.95)

The directrix of the parabola given by the equation y = –5x2 + 60x – 176 is y = 4 1/20 because finishing the square will give us y = -5(x^2 - 12x + 36) + 180 - 176 = -5(x-6)^2 + 4. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.

Answer:

B: 39 degrees

Step-by-step explanation: The angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees. 180 - 30 - 24 = 126.

126 = (3x-9).

126 - 9 = 117.

117 / 3 = 39

Find the horizontal asymptote off of x equals quantity 3 x squared plus 3x plus 6 end quantity over quantity x squared plus 1.
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = (3x² + 3x + 6) / (x² + 1)

The power of the numerator and denominator are equal, so as x approaches infinity, y approaches the ratio of the leading coefficients.

y = 3/1
