Answer:
144?
Step-by-step explanation:
The focus is above the directrix, so the parabola opens upward—its vertical scale factor is positive (+1/12). The line of symmetry is x=-5, so the vertex form of the equation will have the factor (x -(-5))² = (x+5)². The choice that meets both these requirements is
D. f(x) = (1/12)(x + 5)² + 2
Strictly speaking, x^2 + 2x + 4 doesn't have solutions; if you want solutions, you must equate <span>x^2 + 2x + 4 to zero:
</span>x^2 + 2x + 4= 0. "Completing the square" seems to be the easiest way to go here:
rewrite x^2 + 2x + 4 as x^2 + 2x + 1^2 - 1^2 = -4, or
(x+1)^2 = -3
or x+1 =i*(plus or minus sqrt(3))
or x = -1 plus or minus i*sqrt(3)
This problem, like any other quadratic equation, has two roots. Note that the fourth possible answer constitutes one part of the two part solution found above.
