We are given with the data of a parabola with vertex at (2, 2) and directrix at y = 2.5. the formua should be ax^2 + b x + c = y because of the directrix.

(x-h)^2 = 4a (y-k)
(x-2)^2 =4a (y-2)
a is the equidistant distance from focus to vertex and from vertex to directrix that is equal to -0.5
then the answer is
(x-2)^2 =-0.5*4 (y-2)
x2 - 4x + 4 = -2y +4
x2-4x+2y = 0

answer is C

HELP HOW DO I SOLVE THE FOLLOWING? PLEASE HELP

levacccp [35]

$f(x) = \sqrt[3]{2x - 1} \\f(14) = \sqrt[3]{2(14) - 1} \\f(14) = \sqrt[3]{28 - 1} \\f(14) = \sqrt[3]{27} \\f(14) = 3$

$f(x) = \sqrt[3]{2x - 1} \\f(-62) = \sqrt[3]{2(-62) - 1} \\f(-62) = \sqrt[3]{-124 - 1} \\f(-62) = \sqrt[3]{-125} \\f(-62) = -5$

$f(x) = \sqrt[3]{2x - 1} \\f(20) = \sqrt[3]{2(20) - 1} \\f(20) = \sqrt[3]{40 - 1} \\f(20) = \sqrt[3]{39}$
