What is the equation of the quadratic graph with a focus of (-4,17/8) and a directrix of y=15/8

So hmm notice the graph below

based on where the focus point is at, and the directrix, then, the parabola is opening upwards, meaning the squared variable is the "x"

\bf \begin{array}{llll}
(y-{{ k}})^2=4{{ p}}(x-{{ h}}) \\\\
\boxed{(x-{{ h}})^2=4{{ p}}(y-{{ k}})}\\
\end{array}
\qquad 
\begin{array}{llll}
vertex\ ({{ h}},{{ k}})\\\\
{{ p}}=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\
\qquad \textit{ focus or directrix}
\end{array}

now, keep in mind, the vertex is at coordinates h,k
the vertex itself is half-way between the focus and directrix
the directrix is at y=15/8 and the focus is at y=17/8
so, half-way will then be \bf \cfrac{17}{8}-\cfrac{15}{8}=\cfrac{2}{8}\iff \cfrac{1}{4}

well, so is 1/4 between the focus point and the directrix, half of that is 1/8
so, if you move from the focus point 1/8 down, you'll get the y-coordinate for the vertex, or 1/8 up from the directrix, since the vertex is equidistant to either

what's the "p" distance? well, we just found it, is just 1/8

so, the x-coordinate is obviously -4, get the y-coordinate by 17/8 - 1/8   or 15/8 + 1/8

and plug your values (x-h)² = 4p(y-k)   and then solve for "y", that's the equation of the quadratic

koban [17]

Answer:

52488y²

Step-by-step explanation:

first solve for 3³. then solve for 18²

3³=27

18²=324

27*324=8748

then multiply 8748 by 6y²

=52488y^2

Solve using square roots 3x^2+25=73
seropon [69]
Heya !

Given expression -

3 {x}^{2} + 25 = 73

Subtracting 25 both sides ,

3 {x}^{2} + 25 - 25 = 73 - 25 \\ \\ 3 {x}^{2} = 48

Dividing by 3 on both sides ,

\frac{3 {x}^{2} }{3} = \frac{48}{3} \\ \\ {x}^{2} = 16

Therefore ,
x = + \: 4 \: \: \: \: or \: \: - 4 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: Ans.
