Question

Y-5=1/16(x-3)^2 i dont understand how to solve this

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 5 to both sides of the equation.

y=1/16⋅(x−3)2+5

Simplify each term.

y=(x−3)^2/16+5

Use the vertex form, y=a(x−h)2+k, to determine the values of a, h, and k. a=1/16 h =3 k=5

Since the value of a is positive, the parabola opens up.

Find the vertex (h,k).(3,5)

Find p, the distance from the vertex to the focus.

Find the focus.

(3,9)

Find the axis of symmetry by finding the line that passes through the vertex and the focus.
