Mathematics

timurjin [86]3 years ago

Answer:

\frac{x^2}{64} + \frac{y^2}{25} =1

Step-by-step explanation:

An ellipse with vertices (-8, 0) and (8, 0)

Distance between two vertices = 2a

Distance between (-8,0) and (8,0) = 16

2a= 16

so a= 8

Vertex is (h+a,k)

we know a=8, so vertex is (h+8,k)

Now compare (h+8,k) with vertex (8,0) and find out h and k

h+8 =8, h=0

k =0  

a minor axis of length 10.

Length of minor axis = 2b

2b = 10

so b = 5

General formula for the equation of horizontal ellipse is

\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2} + \frac{(y-k)^2}{b} =1

a= 8 , b=5 , h=0,k=0. equation becomes

\frac{(x-0)^2}{8^2} + \frac{(y-0)^2}{5} =1

\frac{x^2}{64} + \frac{y^2}{25} =1

Which transformation have been preformed on a graph of f(x)=x2 to obtained the graph of g(x) =-3(x+1)2-4?
avanturin [10]

Horizontal shift because g(x)=f(x+1) 1 unit left

Vertical shift because g(x)=f(x+1)-4 4 units down

Reflected across x-axis because g(x)=-f(x)

Vertically stretched because g(x)=3(f(x))

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to identify which transformation have been preformed on a graph of f(x)=x2 to obtained the graph of g(x) =-3(x+1)2-4?

Rules for transformation:

Horizontal shift: depends on the value h

if g(x)=f(x+h) then: the graph is shifted left h units

if g(x)=f(x-h) then: the graph is shifted right h units

Vertical Shift: depends on the value k

if g(x)=f(x)+k then: the graph is shifted up k units

if g(x)=f(x)-k then: the graph is shifted down k units

Reflection:

if g(x)=-f(x) then graph is reflected at x-axis

if g(x)=f(-x) then graph is reflected at y-axis

Vertical Stretch:

if g(x)=c.f(x) then graph is vertically stretched.

In the given question:

f(x)= x^2

g(x)=-3(x+1)^2-4

Applying the above rules of transformation:

The graph is:

Horizontal shift because g(x)=f(x+1) 1 unit left

Vertical shift because g(x)=f(x+1)-4 4 units down

Reflected across x-axis because g(x)=-f(x)

Vertically stretched because g(x)=3(f(x))

A parabola has its focus at (1,2) and its directrix is y=-2. the equation of this parabola could be
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
<span>x^2/8 - x/4 + 1/8 = 0 A parabola is defined as the set of all points such that each point has the same distance from the focus and the directrix. Also the parabola's equation will be a quadratic equation of the form ax^2 + bx + c. So if we can determine 3 points on the parabola, we can use those points to calculate the desired equation. First, let's draw the shortest possible line from the focus to the directrix. The midpoint of that line will be a point on the desired parabola. Since the slope of the directrix is 0, the line will have the equation of x=1. This line segment will be from (1,2) to (1,-2) and the midpoint will be ((1+1)/2, (2 + -2)/2) = (2/2, 0/2) = (1,0). Now for the 2nd point, let's draw a line that's parallel to the directrix and passing through the focus. The equation of that line will be y=2. Any point on that line will have a distance of 4 from the directrix. So let's give it an x-coordinate value of (1+4) = 5. So another point for the parabola is (5,2). And finally, if we subtract 4 instead of adding 4 to the x coordinate, we can get a third point of 1-4 = -3. So that 3rd point is (-3,2). So we now have 3 points on the parabola. They are (1,0), (5,2), and (-3,2). Let's create some equations of the form ax^2 + bx + c = y and then substitute the known values into those equations. SO ax^2 + bx + c = y (1) a*1^2 + b*1 + c = 0 (2) a*5^2 + b*5 + c = 2 (3) a*(-3)^2 + b*(-3) + c = 2 Let's do the multiplication for those expressions. So (4) a + b + c = 0 (5) 25a + 5b + c = 2 (6) 9a - 3b + c = 2 Equations (5) and (6) above look interesting. Let's subtract (6) from (5). So 25a + 5b + c = 2 - 9a - 3b + c = 2 = 16a + 8b = 0 Now let's express a in terms of b. 16a + 8b = 0 16a = -8b a = -8b/16 (7) a = -b/2 Now let's substitute the value (-b/2) for a in expression (4) above. So a + b + c = 0 -b/2 + b + c = 0 And solve for c -b/2 + b + c = 0 b/2 + c = 0 (8) c = -b/2 So we know that a = -b/2 and c = -b/2. Let's substitute those values for a and c in equation (5) above and solve for b. 25a + 5b + c = 2 25(-b/2) + 5b - b/2 = 2 -25b/2 + 5b - b/2 = 2 2(-25b/2 + 5b - b/2) = 2*2 -25b + 10b - b = 4 -16b = 4 b = -4/16 b = -1/4 So we now know that b = -1/4. Using equations (7) and (8) above, let's calculate a and c. a = -b/2 = -(-1/4)/2 = 1/4 * 1/2 = 1/8 c = -b/2 = -(-1/4)/2 = 1/4 * 1/2 = 1/8 So both a and c are 1/8. So the equation for the parabola is x^2/8 - x/4 + 1/8 = 0 Let's test to make sure it works. First, let's use an x of 1. x^2/8 - x/4 + 1/8 = y 1^2/8 - 1/4 + 1/8 = y 1/8 - 1/4 + 1/8 = y 1/8 - 2/8 + 1/8 = y 0 = y And we get 0 as expected. Let's try x = 2 x^2/8 - x/4 + 1/8 = y 2^2/8 - 2/4 + 1/8 = y 4/8 - 1/2 + 1/8 = y 4/8 - 1/2 + 1/8 = y 1/2 - 1/2 + 1/8 = y 1/8 = y. Let's test if (2,1/8) is the same distance from both the focus and the directrix. The distance from the directrix is 1/8 - (-2) = 1/8 + 2 = 1/8 + 16/8 = 17/8 The distance from the focus is d = sqrt((2-1)^2 + (1/8-2)^2) d = sqrt(1^2 + -15/8^2) d = sqrt(1 + 225/64) d = sqrt(289/64) d = 17/8 And the distances match again. So we do have the correct equation of: x^2/8 - x/4 + 1/8 = 0</span>
