Jean transformed a point by using the rule (x,y) (x-6, y+8). The image point is (–4, 1). Which point is the pre-image?

lubasha [3.4K]

For this case we have the following transformation:
$(x, y) (x-6, y + 8)
$
Using the transformation we have that the image is:
$(-4, 1)
$
Therefore, making use of this information, we can find the coordinates of the pre-image
We have then:
$x-6 = -4
$
From here, we clear x:
$x = -4 + 6

x = 2$
On the other hand we have:
$y + 8 = 1
$
From here, we clear y:
$y = 1-8

y = -7$
The coordinates of the pre-image is:
$(x, y) = (2, -7)
$
Answer:
A point that is the pre-image is:
$(x, y) = (2, -7)$

Derive the equation of the parabola with a focus at (0, –4) and a directrix of y = 4. (2 points)

yan [13]

The vertex of the parabola is between the shortest line connecting its focus and directrix, so between (0, -4) and y = 4 is the point (0, 0), which is the vertex of the parabola. Also, this parabola faces downward.
The general formula for a parabola that faces downward is y = -4cx^2, where c is the distance from the vertex to either to focus or the parabola. Since c = 4, the equation is y = -16x^2, which is choice A.

Vitek1552 [10]

Oh! I answered this question last week! Don't know if it was the same exact one, but whatever. So first cut the number of pages in Kate's report in half, then add 5 to that. So, (14÷2)+5
