Thanks for the free 10x+ points .
Just guess and check. For example, for the first on the left, I guessed 3 to begin with. 3 + 3 + 3 = 9, but 10 + 3 = 13, so 3 is not the answer. I then guessed 5. 5 + 5 + 5= 15, and 10 + 5= 15, so star = 5.
The axis of symmetry for this parabola is the x-axis. The general form of the equation is:
4p(x-h) = (y-k)^2
where the focus has the coordinates of (h+p,k)
Manipulating the given equation to the general form:
4(1/3)(x-7)^2 = (y - 0)^2
Therefore the coordinates of the focus is:
(7+(1/3),0)
The answer is A.) (71/3,0)
The answer is A. Adjacent
