(y-k)²=4p(x-h)
(h,k) is vertex
and since we got the y term squred, it is facing left or right
when p is positive, then focus is to right of veretx
p is distance from focus to vertex and from vertex to dirextix

y²=-x
(y-0)²=4(-1/4)(x-0)
vertex is (0,0)
p is negative so then focus to left of vertex
so the focus is (-1/4,0)
dirextix is x=1/4

Answer:

The coordinates of the focus and equation of the directrix is (-\frac{1}{4}, 0) and x =\frac{1}{4} respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

y^2 = -x

Rewrite the provided equation.

(y-0)^2 = 4\times\frac{-1}{4}(x-0)

The standard equation of parabola is (y - k)^2 = 4p (x - h) where the focus is (h + p, k) and the directrix is x = h - p.

By comparison we get:

Vertex is (0,0) and p=-\frac{1}{4}

Focus is:(0 + \frac{-1}{4}, 0)

Focus is:(-\frac{1}{4}, 0)

Directrix x = 0 - \frac{-1}{4}

Directrix x =\frac{1}{4}

Hence, the coordinates of the focus and equation of the directrix is (-\frac{1}{4}, 0) and x =\frac{1}{4} respectively.

Write the equation of a linear function for which f=(-4)=0 and f=(0)=-2
densk [106]

Answer:

y = -0.5x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

equation: f(x) = mx + b

f(-4) : -4m + b = 0  ...(1)

f(0):   0m + b = -2            b = -2   ... plug in (1)

-4m - 2 = 0

m = - 1/2 = - 0.5

linear equation: y = -0.5x - 2

A sphere has a volume of 288 pi in^3. Find the surface area, Express your answer in pi.
Tpy6a [65]
Sphere Volume   = <span>  4/3 • <span>π <span>• r³
r^3 = sphere volume / (4/3 * PI)
r^3 = 288*PI / (4/3 * PI)
</span></span></span><span>r^3 = 288 / (4/3)
</span>r^3 = 216
r = 6 inches

Sphere Surface Area     =    <span> 4 • <span>π <span>• r²
</span></span></span>
Sphere Surface Area     =  4 * PI * 36

Sphere Surface Area     =  <span> <span> <span> 452.389 square inches
