Answer: 1) Vertex: (6, -2) Focus: (6, -7/4) Directrix: y = -9/4
2) Vertex: (-2, -1) Focus: (-7/4, -1) Directrix: x = -9/4
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Rewrite the equation in vertex format y = a(x - h)² + k or x = a(y - k)² + h by completing the square. Divide the b-value by 2 and square it - add that value to both sides of the equation.
- (h, k) is the vertex
- p is the distance from the vertex to the focus
- -p is the distance from the vertex to the directrix

1) y = x² - 12x + 34

2) x = y² + 2y - 1


Answer:
72
Step-by-step explanation:
3(20+4)=a0
60+12=a0
72=a0
im not quite sure what you want. I solved for a0. Plz tell me if this is correct. If its not, tell me what u need, then I will solve it for you.
<span>Subtracting 2x from both sides of the equation would be a reasonable first step in solving this equation as it properly combines like terms to the left side of the equation. It quickly shows that the next step would be adding 1 to both sides of the equation, which would have us arrive at the answer of x = 5.</span>
