Answer:

The equation of the second parabola is y=\frac{1}{16} \left(x - 2\right)^{2} + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the focus of the first parabola is (1,3) and the directrix is y = -5. We also know that the second parabola is a translation 1 unit right and 2 units up of the first parabola.

We can use the focus of the first parabola to find the focus of the second parabola (1+1, 3+2) = (2, 5) and the directrix of the second parabola is moved 2 units up. The equation of the directrix of the second parabola is y = -3.

To find the parabola equation we start by assuming a general point on the parabola (x,y).

Next, with the help of the distance formula we find that the distance between (x,y) and the focus.

\sqrt{(x-2)^2+(y-5)^2}

The distance between (x,y) and the directrix y = -3 is \sqrt{(y+3)^2}

On the parabola, these distances are equal:

\sqrt{\left(y+3\right)^2}=\sqrt{\left(x-2\right)^2+\left(y-5\right)^2}\\\left(\sqrt{\left(y+3\right)^2}\right)^2=\left(\sqrt{\left(x-2\right)^2+\left(y-5\right)^2}\right)^2\\\\\left(y+3\right)^2=\left(x-2\right)^2+\left(y-5\right)^2\\\\\left(y+3\right)^2= x^2-4x+4+y^2-10y+25\\\left(y+3\right)^2=x^2-4x+y^2+29-10y\\\\y^2+6y+9=x^2-4x+y^2+29-10y\\16y=x^2-4x+20\\y=\frac{x^2-4x+20}{16}\\\\y=\frac{1}{16} \left(x - 2\right)^{2} + 1

The equation of the second parabola is y=\frac{1}{16} \left(x - 2\right)^{2} + 1

Answer:

x=291/76

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert:

1/2x(6x+ 1/2)=-0.8x+16-1.2

Remove parenthesis and move terms:

3x+1/4=-0.8x+14.8

Collect the like terms and convert:

3x+0.8x=14.8-1/4

Subtract the fractions:

3.8x=74/5-1/4

Divide both sides by 3.8:

3.8x=291/20

x=291/76

Answer:

The intercepts are the locations where the line touches the x-axis and y-axis.

This question is asking for the coordinates for each of those locations, which would be:

(3, 0) for x-intercept location

(0, -10) for y-intercept location

The easy way to remember how to find coordinates is that the x is 'running', and the y is 'jumping', so the x coordinate comes before the y coordinate when finding sets like the ones above.
