Answer:

f(x) = (1/18)x^2 - (4/9)x - 65/18

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the focus (4,3) is higher up than is the directrix y = -6, the vertex is between y = -6 and y = 3, halfway between these values, to be exact:  y = -3/2.  Thus, the y-coordinate of the vertex is (-6 + 3/2), or -4.5.  The x-coordinate of the vertex is 4, which comes from that 4 in (4,3).  Thus, the vertex is (4, -4.5) or (4, -4 1/2).

The standard equation for a vertical parabola with vertex at (h,k) is:

4p(y-k) = (x-h)^2, where p is the distance between vertex and focus or between vertex and directrix.  In this case p = 4.5.  Thus, the equation of this quadratic is 4(4.5)(y - [-4.5]) = (x - 4)^2, or

18(y+4.5) = (x-4)^2, or y+4.5 = (1/18)(x-4)^2.

Let's expand this and rewrite the result as a quadratic equation in standard form y = ax^2 + bx + c:

y + 4.5 = (1/18)(x^2 - 8x + 16).  Multiplying all terms by 18 to remove both fractions, we get:

18y + 81 = x^2 - 8x + 16.  Rearranging these terms, we get:

18y = x^2 - 8x + 16 - 81, or

18y = x^2 - 8x - 65, or

y = f(x) = (1/18)x^2 - (4/9)x - 65/18.

Answer:

The correct option is B) y=\frac{x^{2}}{6}-\frac{4x}{3}-\frac{11}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find out the quadratic graph with given focus (4,-3) and a directrix y=-6

Using the distance formula, we find that the distance between (x,y) and the focus (4,-3) is \sqrt{(x-4)^{2}+(y+3)^{2}} and the distance between (x,y) and the directrix y=-6, is \sqrt{(y+6)^{2}}

On the parabola, these distances are equal:

\sqrt{(y+6)^{2}}=\sqrt{(x-4)^{2}+(y+3)^{2}}

(y+6)^{2}=(x-4)^{2}+(y+3)^{2}

y^{2}+36+12y=x^{2}+16-8x+y^{2}+9+6y

Simplify the above

36+12y-6y=x^{2}-8x+9+16

6y=x^{2}-8x+9+16-36

6y=x^{2}-8x-11

Divide both the sides by 6,

y=\frac{x^{2}}{6}-\frac{8x}{6}-\frac{11}{6}

Simplified further,

y=\frac{x^{2}}{6}-\frac{4x}{3}-\frac{11}{6}

Therefore, the correct option is B) y=\frac{x^{2}}{6}-\frac{4x}{3}-\frac{11}{6}

Barbara earns $16.50 per hour for the first 8 hours she works What
Bingel [31]
In the morning she worked 3 hours and 45 minutes. In the afternoon she worked 5 hours and 15 minutes. That is a total of 9 hours. At $16.50 per hour for 8 hours that comes to $132. Plus the 1 hour over time with breaks down to $18.50 plus $8.25 totaling $24.75. Add that to the $132 and she made a total of $156.75 for Wednesday’s work. I hope this helps with your question.

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

46 terms

Step-by-step explanation:

a₁=b, a₂₁= bₙ, d₁=9, d₂=4

n=?

---------------

a₂₁= a₁+20d₁= a₁+20*9= a₁+180

bₙ= b₁+(n-1)d₂= a₁+4(n-1)

a₁+4(n-1)=a₁+180

4(n-1)=180

n-1= 180/4

n-1= 45

n=46
