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}

Really easy points!!!!!! Please solve for all three answers.
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

1/64, 1/256, 1/1024

Step-by-step explanation:

To get from 16 to 4 we multiply by 1/4

To get from 4 to 1 we multiply by 1/4

Each time we multiply by 1/4

The next term would be 1/16 * 1/4

1/16 * 1/4 = 1/64

The take that term 1/64 and multiply by 1/4

1/64*1/4 = 1/256

Finally take 1/256 and multiply by 1/4

1/256*1/4 =1/1024

A late assignment is very much like a late payment on a credit card bill. If you lose 10 points for every day that an assignment is late and you have to pay a fee for however many days you forgot to pay the bill, (you are losing money for having to pay an extra fee). If you start the habits of turning in assignments in late.  Those habits will be carried with you into adulthood and you will owe a sum of money since you have failed to pay a bill on time. You will lose points for late work and you will lose money for late bills.
