Answer:
y = 1/12 (x − 5)²
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this graphically without doing calculations.
The y component of the focus is y = 3. Since this is above the directrix, we know this is an upward facing parabola, so it must have a positive coefficient. That narrows the possible answers to A and C.
The x component of the focus is x = 5. Since this is above the vertex, we know the x component of the vertex is also x = 5.
So the answer is A. y = 1/12 (x−5)².
But let's say this wasn't a multiple choice question and we needed to do calculations. The equation of a parabola is:
y = 1/(4p) (x − h)² + k
where (h, k) is the vertex and p is the distance from the vertex to the focus.
The vertex is halfway between the focus and the directrix. So p is half the difference of the y components:
p = (3 − (-3)) / 2
p = 3
k, the y component of the vertex, is the average:
k = (3 + (-3)) / 2
k = 0
And h, the x component of the vertex, is the same as the focus:
h = 5
So:
y = 1/(4×3) (x − 5)² + 0
y = 1/12 (x − 5)²
Answer:
3x+3a-9e+8
Step-by-step explanation:
(4x+4x-5x)+3a-9e+8
8x-5x+3a-9e+8
3x+3a-9e+8
The ordered pair that describes the origin is (0, 0).
That's because x=0 and y=0 at the origin.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(f + g)x translates into a more readable f(x) + g(x) so all you do is
f(x) + g(x) = 4x^2 + 1 + x^2 - 5
f(x) + g(x) = 5x^2 - 4
