Answer:
Numerator: 2(b^2 + a^2)
Denominator: (b+a)^2 (b-a)
Answer:
The ladder reaches 4.8 ft up the wall
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey You!
1.5 ft = 18 inches
There is no difference between the distance the two animals traveled.
Refer to the diagram shown below.
The directrix is y = -4 and the focus is (-2, -2).
Therefore the vertex is at (-2, -3).
Consider an arbitrary point (x,y) on the parabola.
The square of distance from the focus to the point is
(x+2)² + (y+2)²
The square of the distance from the point to the directrix is
(y+4)²
Therefore
(y+4)² = (y+2)² + (x+2)²
y² + 8y + 16 = y² + 4y + 4 + (x+2)²
4y = (x+2)² - 12
y = (1/4)(x+2)² - 3
