Hope this helped. :)

Any point, <span><span>(<span><span>x0</span>,<span>y0</span></span>)</span><span>(<span><span>x0</span>,<span>y0</span></span>)</span></span> on the parabola satisfies the definition of parabola, so there are two distances to calculate:

<span>Distance between the point on the parabola to the focusDistance between the point on the parabola to the directrix</span>

To find the equation of the parabola, equate these two expressions and solve for <span><span>y0</span><span>y0</span></span> .

Find the equation of the parabola in the example above.

Distance between the point <span><span>(<span><span>x0</span>,<span>y0</span></span>)</span><span>(<span><span>x0</span>,<span>y0</span></span>)</span></span> and <span><span>(<span>a,b</span>)</span><span>(<span>a,b</span>)</span></span> :

<span><span><span><span><span>(<span><span>x0</span>−a</span>)</span>2</span>+<span><span>(<span><span>y0</span>−b</span>)</span>2</span></span><span>‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾</span>√</span><span><span><span>(<span><span>x0</span>−a</span>)</span>2</span>+<span><span>(<span><span>y0</span>−b</span>)</span>2</span></span></span>

Distance between point <span><span>(<span><span>x0</span>,<span>y0</span></span>)</span><span>(<span><span>x0</span>,<span>y0</span></span>)</span></span> and the line <span><span>y=c</span><span>y=c</span></span> :

<span><span><span>∣∣</span><span><span>y0</span>−c</span><span>∣∣</span></span><span>| <span><span>y0</span>−c</span> |</span></span>

(Here, the distance between the point and horizontal line is difference of their <span>yy</span> -coordinates.)

Equate the two expressions.

<span><span><span><span><span><span>(<span><span>x0</span>−a</span>)</span>2</span>+<span><span>(<span><span>y0</span>−b</span>)</span>2</span></span><span>‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾</span>√</span>=<span><span>∣∣</span><span><span>y0</span>−c</span><span>∣∣</span></span></span><span><span><span><span>(<span><span>x0</span>−a</span>)</span>2</span>+<span><span>(<span><span>y0</span>−b</span>)</span>2</span></span>=<span>| <span><span>y0</span>−c</span> |</span></span></span>

Square both sides.

<span><span><span><span>(<span><span>x0</span>−a</span>)</span>2</span>+<span><span>(<span><span>y0</span>−b</span>)</span>2</span>=<span><span>(<span><span>y0</span>−c</span>)</span>2</span></span><span><span><span>(<span><span>x0</span>−a</span>)</span>2</span>+<span><span>(<span><span>y0</span>−b</span>)</span>2</span>=<span><span>(<span><span>y0</span>−c</span>)</span>2</span></span></span>

Expand the expression in <span><span>y0</span><span>y0</span></span> on both sides and simplify.

<span><span><span><span>(<span><span>x0</span>−a</span>)</span>2</span>+<span>b2</span>−<span>c2</span>=2<span>(<span>b−c</span>)</span><span>y0</span></span><span><span><span>(<span><span>x0</span>−a</span>)</span>2</span>+<span>b2</span>−<span>c2</span>=2<span>(<span>b−c</span>)</span><span>y0</span></span></span>

This equation in <span><span>(<span><span>x0</span>,<span>y0</span></span>)</span><span>(<span><span>x0</span>,<span>y0</span></span>)</span></span> is true for all other values on the parabola and hence we can rewrite with <span><span>(<span>x,y</span>)</span><span>(<span>x,y</span>)</span></span> .

Therefore, the equation of the parabola with focus <span><span>(<span>a,b</span>)</span><span>(<span>a,b</span>)</span></span> and directrix <span><span>y=c</span><span>y=c</span></span> is

<span><span><span><span>(<span>x−a</span>)</span>2</span>+<span>b2</span>−<span>c2</span>=2<span>(<span>b−c</span>)</span>y</span></span>

Draw a model to represent 42/7
ch4aika [34]

Here is a model I have made (I'm not a great artist). There are 42 circles in total, placed in 7 columns. Each column has 6 circles. This model represents 42/7 by splitting 42 into 7 parts, which are the columns, and showing that each column has 6 circles, which is the answer to 42/7.

Please Help Me <br> Thank u so much
BartSMP [9]
The location of the vertex tells you the horizontal and vertical shift. (The parent function f(x) = x² has its vertex at the origin, (0, 0). The vertical distance of the point 1 unit left or right of the vertex in relation to the vertex tells you the vertical scale factor (stretch).

g(x) = f(x +3) -3
  horizontal shift left 3
  vertical shift down 3

h(x) = -3f(x)
  reflection across the x-axis
  vertical stretch of 3

d(x) = f(x -3) -3
  horizontal shift right 3
  vertical shift down 3
