Answer: The equation of the parabola is (x+5)^2=-24(y-1).

Explanation:

It is given that the focus of the parabola is (-5,-5) and the directrix is y=7.

The standard form of the parabola is,

(x-h)^2=4p(y-k)

Where y=k-p is directrix and (h,k+p) is the focus.

Since focus is given,

(h,k+p)=(-5,-5)

On comparing,

h=-5

k+p=-5      .... (1)

The directrix is y=7.

k+p=7       .... (2)

Add equation (1) and (2),

2k=2

k=1

Put this value in (1).

p=-6

Put p= -6, h= -5 and k=1 in the standard form of the parabola.

(x+5)^2=4(-6)(y-1)

(x+5)^2=-24(y-1)

Therefore, the equation of parabola is (x+5)^2=-24(y-1).

You can derive the formula which becomes...y=[1/(2(b-k))](x-a)^2+(1/2)(b+k)(a,b)=(-5,-5) and k=7 because y=7substitutey=[1/(2(-5-7))](x-[-5])^2+(1/2)(-5+7)y=[1/(-24)](x+5)^2+(1/2)(2)y=(-1/24)(x+5)^2+1 you can also do the following...the distance from the focus to a point is the same as the distance from the point to the directrix√(y-7)^2=√(x-[-5])^2+(y-[-5])^2square both sides and expandy^2-14y+49=x^2+10x+25+y^2+10y+25cancel each y^2 on both sides-14y+49=x^2+10x+25+10y+25-14y-10y=x^2+10x+25+25-49-24y=(x^2+10x+25)-24-24y=(x+5)^2-24divide both sides by -24y=(-1/24)(x+5)^2+1 again

Answer:

y = \dfrac{1}{2}x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>Equation of line in slope y-intercept form:</h2>

       \sf slope = m =\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\Point (2, -3) ; x_1 = 2 \ \& y_1 = -3\\\\\boxed{\bf y - y_1 =m(x -x_1)}

         \sf y - [-3] = \dfrac{1}{2}(x - 2)\\\\y + 3 =  \dfrac{1}{2}x - 2*\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\y + 3 = \dfrac{1}{2}x-1\\\\

                \sf y = \dfrac{1}{2}x - 1 - 3\\\\ y =\dfrac{1}{2}x-4

The cost, C dollars, of hiring a taxi is given by the formula C=2.00+320n, where n is the number of tenths of a mile driven. Wha
Ainat [17]

Answer:

$14.80

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming you meant to put 3.20 since $320 a mile would be ridiculous.

C(n)=2.00+3.20n

If n = 4 miles we have:

C(4)=2+3.20(4)

C(4)=2+12.80

C(4)=14.80

So the cost of the taxi is $14.80.

Use the Parabola tool to graph the quadratic function. f(x)=2x^2−12x+19 Graph the parabola by first plotting its vertex and then
Debora [2.8K]
To find the vertex of our parabola, we are going to use the vertex formula: For a quadratic of the form f(x)=x^2+bx+c it vertex (h,k) is given by h= \frac{-b}{2a}, k=f(h).
We can infet from our parabola that a=2 and b=-12. So lets replace those values in our formula:
h= \frac{-b}{2a}
h= \frac{-(-12)}{2(2)}
h= \frac{12}{4}
h=3
k=f(h)=2(3)^2-12(3)+19
k=2(9)-36+19
k=18-17
k=1
The vertex (h,k) of our parabola is (3,1)

Now to find our second point, we are going to evaluate our parabola at x=0
f(0)=2(0)^2-12(0)+19
f(0)=0+0+19
f(0)=19
Our second point is (0,19)

We can conclude that we can graph the parabola f(x)=2x^2-12x+19 using its vertex (3,1) and the point (0,19) as follows:
