We're given focus =(−2, 4) and directrix Y = 6 We start with this equation:
(x- h)^2 = 4p * (y -k)

The "x" value of the focus = the "x" value of the directrix = -2 (which also = "h")
The "y" value (or "k") lies between the focus "y" value and the directrix "y" value k = (4 + 6 / 2) = 5
p = one half the distance from directrix to focus = .5 * (6 -4) = 1
Now we enter these numbers into:(x- h)^2 = 4p * (y -k)(x --2)^2 = 4*1 * (y -5)(x +2)^2 = 4y -20x^2 + 4 x + 4 = 4y - 204y = x^2 + 4 x + 24 y = x^2/4 + x + 6

Solve the following 3 × 3 system. Enter the coordinates of the solution below.
ICE Princess25 [194]

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 3y - 2z = 4

[2] x + 3y + 2z = -7

[3] -4x - 4y - 2z = 10

Solve by Substitution :

// Solve equation [2] for the variable x

[2] x = -3y - 2z - 7

// Plug this in for variable x in equation [1]

[1] 2•(-3y-2z-7) - 3y - 2z = 4

[1] - 9y - 6z = 18

// Plug this in for variable x in equation [3]

[3] -4•(-3y-2z-7) - 4y - 2z = 10

[3] 8y + 6z = -18

// Solve equation [3] for the variable z

[3] 6z = -8y - 18

[3] z = -4y/3 - 3

// Plug this in for variable z in equation [1]

[1] - 9y - 6•(-4y/3-3) = 18

[1] - y = 0

// Solve equation [1] for the variable y

[1] y = 0

// By now we know this much :

x = -3y-2z-7

y = 0

z = -4y/3-3

// Use the y value to solve for z

z = -(4/3)(0)-3 = -3

// Use the y and z values to solve for x

x = -3(0)-2(-3)-7 = -1

Solution :

{x,y,z} = {-1,0,-3}
