Standard form is, hold a sec
x=2 is directix
that means it opens left or right
so we must use
(y-k)²=4p(x-h)
where vertex is (h,k) and p is distance from focus to vertex
also shortest distance from vertex to directix
the shortest distance from focus to directix is 2p
if p>0 then the parabola opens right
if p<0 then pareabola opens left
so
(-2,0) and x=2
the distance is 4
4/2=2
p=2
wait, positive or negative
focus is to the left of the directix so p is negative
p=-2
vertex is 2 to the right of the focus and 2 to the left of directix
vertex is (0,0)
so
(y-0)²=4(-2)(x-0) or
y²=-8x is da equation
not sure what form is standard tho
Answer:
x = 4.17
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use a ratio to solve
4.2 k 2 k
---------------- = ---------------
8.76 x
Using cross products
4.2 * x = 2 * 8.76
4.2x =17.52
Divide by 4.2
x=4.17
This is a definition and an example of it
This is simple simplifying. If you need an explanation dm me.
here is the answer
x=-5
