Answer:

f(x) = one eigth (x-2)^2 - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have. focus = (2,1) and directrix y = -3.

Let (x,y) be any point on the curve.

First, we will find the distance between (x,y) and the focus (2,1).

i.e. distance = \sqrt{(x-2)^{2} +(y-1)^{2} }

Now, we will find the distance between (x,y) and directrix y = -3.

i.e. distance = | y - (-3) | = | y + 3 |

To find the quadratic function, we will equate both the distances and simplify the equation.

i.e. \sqrt{(x-2)^{2} +(y-1)^{2} } = | y + 3 |

Squaring both sides, we get,

(x-2)^{2}+(y-1)^{2}=(y+3)^{2}

i.e. x^{2}-4x-8y-4=0

i.e. 8y=x^{2}-4x-4

i.e. y=\frac{x^{2} }{8} -\frac{x}{2} -\frac{1}{2}

The option f(x) = one eigth (x-2)^2 - 1 will give the y obtained above after simplifying.

   Since a parabola is the curve such that all points on the curve have the same distance from the directrix as the distance from the point to the focus.With that in mind, we can quickly determine 3 points on the parabola. The 1st point will be midway between the focus and the directrix, So: (2, (1 + -3)/2) = (2, -2/2) = (2,-1). The other 2 points will have the same y-coordinate as the focus, but let offset on the x-axis by the distance from the focus to the directrix. Since the distance is (1 - -3) = 4, that means the other 2 points will be (2 - 4, 1) and (2 + 4, 1) which are (-2, 1) and (6, 1). The closest point to the focus will have the same x-coordinate as the focus, so the term will be (x-2)^2. This eliminates the functions "f(x) = -one eighth (x + 2)^2 - 1" and "f(x) = -one half (x + 2)^2 - 1" from consideration since their x term is incorrect, leaving only "f(x) = one eighth (x - 2)^2 - 1" and "f(x) = one half (x - 2)^2 + 1" as possible choices. Let's plug in the value 6 for x and see what y value we get from squaring (x-2)^2. So: (x-2)^2 (6-2)^2 = 4^2 = 16 Now which option is equal to 1? Is it one eighth of 16 minus 1, or one half of 16 plus 1? 16/8 - 1 = 2 - 1 = 1 16/2 + 1 = 8 + 1 = 9 Therefore the answer is "f(x) = one eighth (x - 2)^2 - 1"</span>

Answer:

Correct answer:  (x - 10)² + y² = 441 / 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

(a, b) = (10, 0)  the coordinates of the center of the circle

(10, 21/2)  circle passing through this point

The standard form of the circle equation is:

(x - a)² + (y - b)² = r²  where r is radius of the circle

We will replace the given coordinates of the center of the circle and the point it passes through to get the radius of the circle:

(10 - 10)² + (21/2)² = r²  ⇒ r² = (21/2)² = 441 / 4

r² = 441 / 4

(x - 10)² + y² = 441 / 4

Answer:

2x^2 - 9x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x+1)(x-5)

Using FOIL

= 2x^2 - 10x + x - 5

= 2x^2 - 9x - 5
