Find the focus and directrix of parabola xsquared= 2y

Mathematics
1 answer:
Akimi4 [234]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

directrix: y = -1/2; focus = (0,1/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

rewrite in standard form:

2y = x^2

factor 4

4 * (y/2) = x^2

rewrite as

4 * 1/2 ( y - 0 ) = (x - 0 )^2

therefore

(h,k) = (0,0) , p = 1/2

directrix is line || to x-axis, distance - p from the center (0,0) y-coordinate (of the parabola)

y = 0 - p

y = 0 - 1/2

y = -1/2

now for the focus!

the focus is distance p from center (0,0) along y-axis --> (0, 0+p)

therefore

(0,0+1/2)

(0,1/2) is the focus!

How do you simplify 7x×4y×2y^2
belka [17]
The answer is: 56xy³
_______________________________
Explanation:
_______________________________
Find the "like terms"; which are: 
_______________________________
"4y" and "2y<span>²"
_______________________________
The remaining term is: "7x".
_____________________________________
The problem is a "multiplication problem" :
___________________________________________
7x * 4y * </span>2y² ; so start by multiplying the "like terms" :
<span>___________________________________________
4y * 2y</span>² = 8y<span>³
____________________________________________
Then the remaining term is "7x";
        so, multiply that by our obtained value: "</span>8y³ " :
_____________________________________________
7x * 8y³  = 56xy³ ; which is our answer:

The sample space is orange, purple, and white. If P(Orange )=2/5 and P(purple) = 3/10 what is P=(white)
padilas [110]
White would be 3/10. Since orange is 2/5, it can also be written as 4/10 since 4/10 simplified would be 2/5. Also since you know purple is 3/10, so you must add what you know to get what you don't know. Orange 4/10 plus purple 3/10 would be 7/10. You would then subtract what the whole thing is worth which is 10/10. 10/10 minus 7/10 would be 3/10 which is the remainder of what is left which is white.
