Using a directrix of y = −3 and a focus of (2, 1), what quadratic function is created?

Mathematics

Lelechka [254]2 years ago

Answer:

  y=\dfrac{1}{8}(x-2)^2-1

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between the focus and the directrix is the vertical distance from the point to the line:

  1 -(-3) = 4

The vertex is half that distance between the point and the line, so is at x=2 and ...

  y = (-3 +1)/2 = -1

The vertical scale factor of the quadratic is 1/(4p) where p is the distance from vertex to focus. Here, that distance is 2, so the equation in vertex form is ...

  y = (1/(4·2))(x -2)² -1

  y = (1/8)(x -2)² -1

_____

<em>Check</em>

Any point on the parabola is equidistant from the focus and directrix. This is easily checked at the vertex, which is halfway between focus and directrix, and at the points having the same y-value as the focus. Those two points are (-2, 1) and (6, 1), both of which are 4 units from the focus and 4 units from the directrix.

Does (2,0) work as a solution to the systems of equations to lines 3x+y=6 and 3x-y=6
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

To see if (2,0) works as a solution to the systems of equations, we plug in the values of x and y and simplify. If the results are equal, then (2,0) is a solution.

3x + y = 6:

  • 3(2) + 0 = 6
  • 6 + 0 = 6
  • 6 = 6
  • (2,0) is a solution to this equation.

3x - y = 6:

  • 3(2) - 0 = 6
  • 6 - 0 = 6
  • 6 = 6
  • (2,0) is a solution to this equation.

Therefore, the answer is yes, it does work as a solution.

Have a lovely rest of your day/night, and good luck with your assignments! ♡
