We know that
the equation of the parabola is of the form
y=ax²+bx+c
in this problem
y=1/4x²−x+3
where
a=1/4
b=-1
c=3
the coordinates of the focus are
(-b/2a,(1-D)/4a)
where D is the discriminant b²-4ac
D=(-1)²-4*(1/4)*3-----> D=1-3---> D=-2
therefore
x coordinate of the focus
-b/2a----> 1/[2*(-1/4)]----> 2
y coordinate of the focus
(1-D)/4a------> (1+2)/(4/4)---> 3
the coordinates of the focus are (2,3)
Judging by the question you have provided I came to the conclusion that you have already solved your own problem!
If the goal is to find X when X=-15 then your answer for X should be -15!
If this is not the entire equation please post the entire one!
Hope this helped!

Answer: The approximate value of x is -3.396
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Now,to find the value of x.
Use logarithm rule:
We have,
Now,
Using value of: and we get,
on simplify:
Adding 1 both the sides, we get
Therefore, the approximate value of x for the equation is -3.396.
