Answer

x = -4 plus or minus "i" times the square root of 6

Explanation

−2x² − 16x − 44 = 0.

−2x² − 16x = 44

Dividing by -2

x² + 8x = -22

x² + 8x + 4² = -22 + 4²

(x + 4)² = -22 + 16

(x + 4) ² = -6

(x + 4) = √-6

Remember √(-1) = i

(x + 4) = i√6 or (x + 4) = -i√6

x = -4 + i√6 x = -4 - i√6

Mashcka [7]

12(3w+8)=25
36w+96=25 ( I used the distributive property)
-96 . -96
36w=-71
w=-1.972222.... ( I divided both sides by 36)

A parabola has a focus of F(2, -0.5) and a directrix of y=-1.5 P(x,y) represents any point on the parabola, while D(x, -1.5) rep

prohojiy [21]

The sketch of the parabola is attached below

We have the focus $(a,b) = (2, -0.5)$
The point $P(x,y)$
The directrix, c at $y=-1.5$

The steps to find the equation of the parabola are as follows

Step 1
Find the distance between the focus and the point P using Pythagoras. We have two coordinates; $(2, -0.5)$ and $(x,y)$ .
We need the vertical and horizontal distances to find the hypotenuse (the diagram is shown in the second diagram).
The distance between the focus and point P is given by
$\sqrt{ (x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2} }$

Step 2
Find the distance between the point P to the directrix $c$ . It is a vertical distance between y and c, expressed as $y-c$

Step 3
The equation of parabola is then given as
$\sqrt{ (x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2} }$ = $y-c$
$(x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2}= (y-c)^{2}$ ⇒ substituting a, b and c
$(x-2)^{2}+ (y--0.5)^{2} = (y--1.5)^{2}$
$(x-2)^{2}+ (y+0.5)^{2}= (y+1.5)^{2}$ ⇒Rearranging and making $y$ the subject gives

$y= \frac{ x^{2} }{2} -2x+1$
