What is an equation of a parabola with a vertex at the origin and directrix x=4.75?

An equation for the parabola would be y²=-19x.

Since we have x=4.75 for the directrix, this tells us that the parabola's axis of symmetry runs parallel to the x-axis.  This means we will use the standard form

(y-k)²=4p(x-h), where (h, k) is the vertex, (h+p, k) is the focus and x=h-p is the directrix.

Beginning with the directrix:

x=h-p=4.75
h-p=4.75

Since the vertex is at (0, 0), this means h=0 and k=0:

0-p=4.75
-p=4.75
p=-4.75

Substituting this into the standard form as well as our values for h and k we have:
(y-0)²=4(-4.75)(x-0)
y²=-19x

using the graph of f(x)=1/× as a guide describe the transformation and graph the function g(x)=2/x+4​
Stells [14]

Answer:    

A transformed function of f(x) is defined as,

g(x) = k f(x+a) + b,

Where k shows the stretch or compression ( When |k| > 1 or 0 < |k| < 1 ),

a shows the horizontal shifting, ( When a > 0 then it is shifted left when a < 0 then it is shifted right)

b shows the vertical shifting. ( b > 0 then it is shifted up b < 0 then it is shifted down)

Here, the parent function is,

f(x) = \frac{1}{x}

And, transformed function is,

g(x) = \frac{2}{x+4}= 2f(x+4)

Thus, by the above explanation,

g(x) is obtained after shifting of f(x) horizontally left by 4 unit and after stretched by 2 unit.

In a G.P., the third term exceeds the first term by 16.
Tresset [83]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In a G.P, the nth term is given as

Un=ar^(n-1)

Where

a is first term

n is nth term

And r is common ratio

So in the question given above,

The third term exceed the first term by 16

i.e U3=U1+16

Where U1=a. First term

U3=a+16

Given also that, the sum if the third term and fourth term is 72.

Then U3+U4=72.

We are told to find common ratio (r)

U3=ar^3-1

U3=ar^2

Also, U4=ar^3

U3+U4=72

ar^2+ar^3=72

ar^2(1+r)=72. equation 1

Also for

U3=a+16

ar^2=a+16

ar^2-a=16

a(r^2-1)=16. From (x^2-y^2)=(x+y)(x-y)

Then,

a(r-1)(r+1)=16. Equation 2

Divide equation 2 by equation 1

a(r-1)(r+1)/ar^2(1+r) =16/72

Then a cancel a and (1+r) cancel (1+r)

So,

(r-1)/r^2=2/9

Cross multiply

9(r-1)=2r^2

2r^2-9r+9=0

Solving the quadratic equation

2r^2-6r-3r+9=0

2r(r-3)-3(r-3)=0

(r-3)(2r-3)=0

r-3=0. Or. 2r-3= 0

Then r=3 or r=3/2
