Make x the subject: a(x-b) = x

Mathematics
1 answer:
umka21 [38]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

x = \frac{ab}{a-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a(x - b) = x ← distribute parenthesis on left side

ax - ab = x ( subtract x from both sides )

ax - x - ab = 0 ( add ab to both sides )

ax - x = ab ← factor out x from each term on the left side

x(a - 1) = ab ← divide both sides by a - 1

x = \frac{ab}{a-1}

What is the focus of the parabola?<br><br> y=−14x2−2x−2
nataly862011 [7]
First, we need to transform the equation into its standard form (x - h)²=4p(y - k).
Using completing the square method:

y = -14x² - 2x - 2
y = -14(x² + 2x/14) - 2
y = -14(x² + 2x/14 + (2/28)²) -2 + (2/28)²
y = -14(x + 1/14)² - 391/196
-1/14(y + 391/196) = (x + 1/14)²

This is a vertical parabola and its focus <span>(h, k + p) is (-1/14, -391/196 + 1/56) = (-1/14, -775/392).

Or (-0.071,-1.977).</span>
