ANSWER

Focus:

(- \frac{1}{4} ,0)

Directrix:

x=\frac{1}{4}

EXPLANATION

The given parabola has equation:

{y}^{2}  =  - x

We compare this to the general equation,

{y}^{2}  =  - 4px

Comparing the coefficient of x, we have:

-4p=-1

p =  \frac{1}{4}

The focus is (-p,0)

(- \frac{1}{4} ,0)

The equation of the directrix is

x=p

x =  \frac{1}{4}

Replace * with a monomial in such a way, that the trinomial becomes a perfect square. *+12x+1
Mrrafil [7]

Answer: * = 36x^2

Note: Im guessing you're here for rsm struggles. That's how I found this question. I searched the web for the answer to this rsm problem, but I couldnt find it. I was happy to find this brainly link, but annoyed to find it was unanswered. I did the problem, and now i'll help future rsm strugglers out. Thanks for posting this question.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so we know that trinomials like this are squares of binomials. this in mind, we know that it can also be written as (x+y)^2. (also brainly's exponents feature used to be better, if the exponents are confusing you, comment.) Using the (x+y)^2 equation, you know that by simplifying it, you get x^2+2xy+y^2. Basically we're looking for x^2. Using the middle term, 2xy, or 12x in this equation, we can find x. since we know the square root of 1 is 1, we know 12=2x. This is kinda confusing, but basically since the answer is 6, we know that the x-term is 6x. We square 6x and get 36x^2. guaranteed to work on the rsm student portal, i'm in rsm and i just answered this question.

Hope this helps! Also, im not usually too active on brainly unless im looking for HW answers, so if you understand this explanation and you see a confused comment, help out a friend and answer it. Happy holidays!
