Answer:

y = x^2 - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex of a parabola is exactly halfway between the focus and the directrix.  If the focus is at (0, -6) and the directrix is the line y = -2, then we do this to locate the vertex:  Draw a vertical line through (0, -6) also crossing the line y = -2.  The y value halfway between y = -6 and y = -2 is y = -4, and the vertex is thus (0, -4).

Using the vertex method, write out the equation of this parabola, starting with the general form y - k = (x-h)^2, where (h, k) is the vertex.  Here h = 0 and k = -4

We get:  y + 4 = (x - 0)^2, or y + 4 = x^2, or y = x^2 - 4.  As a check, let x = 0; y = -4, which is the y-coordinate of the vertex.

Last question I'm stuck on now.
Yanka [14]

Answer:

This is kind of late, but I hope I could help maybe for a later assignment or assesment.

The estimates of y have become increasingly more precise, with some of the earlier ones having a margin of error of more than 0.8

None of the estimates support newton's theory that y=0

Most of the estimate support Einstein, or at least have a margin of error that accounts for einstien.

What is the value of x in the solution to the system<br> x+y=10<br> x-y=4
ANEK [815]

Answer:

x = 7; y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

I used the Trial and Error Method and found that x = 7 and y = 3

=> 7 + 3 = 10

=> 10 = 10. ✔

=> 7 - 3 = 4

=> 4 = 4. ✔

Therefore, x = 7 and y = 3

Hoped this helped.
