-1 should be what you are after
Part 1: The general form for this matches y^2 = -4cx, which implies that this opens to the left. (Imagine assigning any value of y, whether positive or negative, which would result in a positive left-hand value. Then to match this sign, the value of x must be negative so that the right-hand side becomes positive as well.)
Part 2: The distance from the vertex to the directrix is given by c. This equation has its vertex at the origin (0, 0). If it opens to the left, the directrix is a vertical line to the right of the origin. This equation is y^2 = -4(1/2)x, so c = 1/2, and the directrix has the equation x = 1/2.
Part 3: The focus is inside the parabola, but it is the same distance from the vertex as the directrix. This distance is 1/2 units, and it will be to the left of the vertex. So the focus is at (-1/2, 0).
First, we substitute the numbers to the corresponding variables.
|(8) + (-15)|
And we change the plus sign since we’re just basically subtracting.
|8 - 15|
|-7|
Now to do absolute values, we must remember that it will always equal a positive unless there is a negative sign outside of the | |.
So the final answer will be 7.
Answer:
<em>m∠EBC = 34° </em>
Step-by-step explanation:
m∠DBC = m∠DBE + m∠ EBC
m∠DBC - m∠DBE = m∠EBC
(12x - 3)° - (5x + 12)° = (3x + 13)°
12x - 5x - 3 - 12 = 3x + 13
4x = 28
x = 7
<em>m∠EBC </em>= (3(7) + 13)° <em>= 34° </em>
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
29/100 can be written as 0.29 , not 0.029.
