The standard equation for a parabola that opens upward parallel to the y-axis is x2=4ay, where a = distance from the vertex to focus. Vertex is at origin(0,0)
4a=2
a=2/4
a=1/2 or 0.5
the coordinate of the focus is (0, 1/2)
the equation of the directrix is y=-1/2
Answer:




Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given information</u>



<u>Derived expression from the given information</u>
<em>Presumably, I think this is a combination of segments</em>

<u>Substitute values into the given expression</u>

<u>Combine like terms</u>
<em>The following is the expression</em>

<u>Subtract 3 on both sides</u>


<u>Subtract x on both sides</u>


<u>Substitute the x value into corresponding expressions to determine the final value</u>

Please let me know if you have any questions
Two angles are supplementary if their measures sum 180°.
Linear angle pairs are adjacent angles (they are together) and they form a straight angle, which is 180°. Therefore, they are supplementary.
But two angles may be separated and yet add 180°, then they are supplementary but are not linear angle pairs.
A unit rate is a ratio that has a denominator of 1. A unit rate is also called a unit ratio. (They mean the same thing.)
Hope this helps :)
