(x-h)^2=4P(y-k), vertex is (h,k)
P is distance from vertex to directix
remember to subtract P from the y value of the vertex (p-k) and that y value is the directix, y=p-k

nut
ok so one way is to just graph them on a graphing utility
remember if the graph opens up, then the directix is below that
or we can convert to 4P(y-k)=(x-h)^2 form where P is distance from directix

I will only convert the 1st one fully, you should be able to do the rest

1. y=-x^2+3x+8
multiply both sides by -1 since we don't like the x^2 term negative
-y=x^2-3x-8
add8 to both sides
-y+8=x^2-3x
take 1/2 of linear coeficient and square it and add to both sides
-3/2=-1.5
 (-1.5)^2=2.25
-y+10.25=x^2-3x+2.25
factor perfect square
-y+10.25=(x-1.5)^2
force undistribute -1 in left side
(-1)(y-10.25)=something, we don't care anymore for now
factor out a 4 in -1
4(-1/4)(y-10.25)

k=10.25
p=-1/4=-0.25
directix=k-p=10.25-(-0.25)=10.5
directix is y=10.5

basically completee the square with x and find P by force factoring a 4 out

2.  directix: y=-1.75

3. directix: y=1.5

4. directix: y=17.25

5. d: -37.5

6. d: 9.25

7. d=2.625

order them yourself

A loan of $8 000 was repaid in 2 years in
Anika [276]

Answer:

P = 8000

t = 2

I = p × r × t

400 = 8000 × r/100 × 2

r = 400/160 per year

r = 40/16 = 2.5 %

NO LINKS!!!! Find the equation of the circle below​
inysia [295]

Answer:

(x+3)^2+(y-2)^2=9

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation of a circle</u>

(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2

where:

  • (a, b) is the center
  • r is the radius

From inspection of the diagram, the center of the circle <em>appears</em> to be at point (-3, 2), although this is not very clear.  Therefore, a = -3  and  b = 2.

Substitute these values into the general form of the equation of a circle:

\implies (x-(-3))^2+(y-2)^2=r^2

\implies (x+3)^2+(y-2)^2=r^2

Again, from inspection of the diagram, the <u>maximum vertical point</u> of the circle appears to be at y = 5.  Therefore, to calculate the radius, subtract the y-value of the center point from the y-value of the maximum vertical point:

⇒ radius (r) = 5 - 2 = 3

Substitute the found value of r into the equation:

\implies (x+3)^2+(y-2)^2=3^2

Therefore, the final equation of the given circle is:

\implies (x+3)^2+(y-2)^2=9
