Answer:
Directrix equation: y = 11/2
y = k - c = 6 - 1/2 = 11/2
Step-by-step explanation:
y=(1/2) x^2+6x+24
factor this
y = (1/2)* [ x^2 + 12x ] + 24
y = (1/2)* [ x^2 + 12x + 36 - 36] + 24
y = (1/2)* [ (x + 6)^2 - 36] + 24
y = (1/2)* (x + 6)^2 - 18 + 24
y = (1/2)* (x + 6)^2 + 6
y - 6 = (1/2)* (x + 6)^2
2*(y - 6) = (x + 6)^2
4c = 2, (h, k) = (-6, 6)
c = 1/2
Directrix equation: y = k - c = 6 - 1/2 = 11/2
Answer:
63
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that

so that

We have


so that

You might already know that



so from these formulas we get



If you don't know the formulas mentioned above:
- The first one should be obvious; if you add
copies of 1 together, you end up with
. - The second one is easily derived: If
, then
, so that
or
. - The third can be derived using a similar strategy to the one used here. Consider the expression
, and so on.
