What is the equation of the parabola with a directrix at y = 4 and focus (0, -4).

Given that the directrix is at y = 4 and the focus is at (0, -4), then the vertex is at (h, k) = (0, 0).
p is the distance between the vertex and the focus and between the vertex and the directrix = 4 and since the focus is below the directrix, p is negative, i.e. p = -4
Equation of a parabola is given by (x - h)^2 = 4p(y - k)
Therefore, the required equation is (x - 0)^2 = 4(-4)(y - 0)
x^2 = -16y
y = -1/16 x^2

Http://prntscr.com/lkz30r<br> What is the value of x?<br> 28<br> 20<br> 36<br> 17
ivolga24 [154]

This is a question that can be solved with Pythagorean Theorem since it is a right triangle. The longest side, 29, is the hypotenuse and the sides 21 and x are the legs. So, the Pythagorean Theorem states,

c^{2}= a^{2}+ b^{2}

Where,

c is the Hypotenuse, a and b are the legs. Putting the respective values gives us,

(29)^{2}= (21)^{2} +x^{2} \\841=441+x^{2} \\400=x^{2} \\20=x

So, 20 is the side length of x.
