Find the standard form of the equation of the parabola with a vertex at the origin and a focus at (0, -7).

So hmm check the picture below

we know the vertex is at the origin, and the focus point is below it, that means two things, the parabola is vertical and it's opening downwards

notice the distance "p", from the vertex to the focus point, is just 7 units, however, since the parabola is opening downwards, the "p" value will be negative, so p = -7

\bf \textit{parabola vertex form with focus point distance}\\\\
\begin{array}{llll}
(y-{{ k}})^2=4{{ p}}(x-{{ h}}) \\\\
\boxed{4{{ p}}(y-{{ k}})=(x-{{ h}})^2 }\\
\end{array}
\qquad 
\begin{array}{llll}
vertex\ ({{ h}},{{ k}})\\\\
{{ p}}=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\
\qquad \textit{ focus or directrix}
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
4{{ p}}(y-{{ k}})=(x-{{ h}})^2\quad 
\begin{cases}
h=0\\
k=0\\
p=-7
\end{cases}\implies 4(-7)(y-0)=(x-0)^2
\\\\\\
-28y=x^2\implies y=-\cfrac{1}{28}x^2

Fofino [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=(x²+20x+100) -3  because : 97 = 100 -  3

f(x) = (x+10)² -3 ....vertex form

What should be done to both sides of the equation in order to solve y + 8.5 = 17.2?
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Subtract 8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation, y has to be isolated (only y will be on one side of the equation)

To do this, we have to get rid of the 8.5, so it has to be subtracted from both sides.

So, the correct answer is subtract 8.5

Look at the graph below. Which of the following best represents the slope of the line? A. -3 B. - 1 3 C. 1 3 D. 3
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer and Explanation:

The line seems to pass trough the points (0,6) and (-3,4).

Slope is: m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m=\frac{4-6}{-3-0} =\frac{-2}{-3} =\boxed{\frac{2}{3}}

The slope of the line should be \frac{2}{3}.

Answer:

90 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

BCO = 66

The whole ABC is 180

So BCO and  BDO = 90

Therefore BAO must = 90 degrees

The volume of a rectangular box is 330 cubic inches. The length on one side of the top is 11 inches, and the height of the box i
Kipish [7]

Answer:

width = 10 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

V = lwh

w = \frac{V}{lh} = \frac{330in^{3} }{11in(3in)} = \frac{330}{33} = 10 inches
