What is the equation of the parabola with focus (-1,-1) and directrix y=1?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Inessa05 [86]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given focus as (h,k) and directrix as y = mx + b, the equation of a parabola is given as:

\frac{(y - mx - b)^2}{m^2 +1}=(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2

Hence, from the given focus & directrix, we have:

h = -1

k = -1

m = 0

b = 1

<em>We can plug them into the formula and arrange to get:</em>

<em>\frac{(y - mx - b)^2}{m^2 +1}=(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2\\\frac{(y - (0)x - 1)^2}{0^2 +1}=(x - (-1))^2 + (y - (-1))^2\\\frac{(y-1)^2}{1}=(x+1)^2+(y+1)^2\\y^2-2y+1=x^2+2x+1+y^2+2y+1\\-2y-2y=x^2+2x+1\\-4y=x^2+2x+1\\y=-\frac{1}{4}x^2-\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{4}</em>

<em />

<em>B is the correct answer.</em>

Which mathematical symbol would best fill in the blank to compare the two real numbers?
Alexandra [31]

Answer:  The correct option is (A) < .

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to select the correct mathematical symbol that would best fill in the blank to compare the following two real numbers :

\sqrt7~~~?~~~\dfrac{14}{5}.

First , we need to find the values of both the real numbers in decimal form.

We have

\sqrt7=2.64575...,\\\\\dfrac{14}{5}=2.8.

Since, 2.64575 so we get

\sqrt7

Thus, the correct mathematical symbol is <.

Option (A) is CORRECT.

3/4=j-1/2 solve the equation check your solution
DIA [1.3K]
3/4= j-1/2
first to add 1/2 to both sides to solve for j 
3/4 + 1/2= j
second you find a common denominator in order to add 3/4 and 1/2, the common denominator would be 4, you would have to change 3/4 at all because the denominator is already 4 but in order to make the denominator of 1/2, 4 you would have to multiply both the denominator and numerator by 2 so 
3/4 + 2/4 = 5/4
so 5/4 =j

to check your answer you plug 5/4 in for j 
3/4 = 5/4 -1/2
again you need to find a common denominator between 5/4 and 1/2 which again would be 4, and again you wouldn't change 5/4 but you would multiply both the numerator and the denominator of 1/2 so 
3/4= 5/4-2/4
5-2= 3 and you would keep the 4 so 
5/4 - 2/4 = 3/4

so j =  5/4

Find the area of ABC with vertices A(3,-6), B(5,-6), and C(7,–9).
stellarik [79]

Area of a triangle ABC with the given vertices is 3 square units.

Given that, the vertices of a triangle ABC, A(3,-6), B(5,-6), and C(7,–9).

<h3>What is the area of triangle formula in coordinate geometry?</h3>

In Geometry, a triangle is a three-sided polygon that has three edges and three vertices. The area of the triangle is the space covered by the triangle in a two-dimensional plane.

Area of a triangle = \frac{1}{2} ( |x_1(y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2)|)

Here, (x1, y1) = A(3,-6), (x2, y2) = B(5,-6), and (x3, y3) = C(7,–9)

Now, the area of a triangle = 1/2 (|3(-6+9)+5(-9+6)+7(-6+6)|)

= 1/2 (|3(3)+5(-3)+7(0)|)

= 1/2 (|(9-15)|)

= 1/2 × 6

= 3 square units

Therefore, area of a triangle ABC with the given vertices is 3 square units.

Solve the following system of equations algebraically:<br> y = x2 - 6x + 9<br> y = -9x + 19
Ratling [72]
{(-5,64), (2,1)}

linear equation: y = -9x + 19
quadratic equation: y = x² - 6x + 9

Substitute the y in the quadratic equation by the its value in the linear equation.

-9x + 19 = x² - 6x + 9
      -  19               - 19    *subtract 19 to both sides
-9x         = x² - 6x -10
+9x              + 9x            *add 9x to both sides
0            = x² + 3x - 10
0            = (x + 5) (x - 2) *Factor

Set each factor = 0 and solve
x + 5 = 0    ;      x - 2 = 0
x = -5         ;      x = 2

Find the corresponding value of y using the linear equation.
y = -9x + 19

x = -5                              x = 2
y = -9(-5) + 19               y = -9(2) + 19
y = 45 + 19                    y = -18 + 19
y = 64                            y = 1

(-5,64)                              (2,1)

Check each value on each equation.
y = x² - 6x + 9
(-5,64)                                                  (2,1)
64 = (-5)² - 6(-5) + 9                          1 = 2² - 6(2) + 9
64 = 25 + 30 + 9                                1 = 4 - 12 + 9
64 = 64                                               1 = 1

y = -9x + 19
64 = -9(-5) + 19                                  1 = -9(2) + 19
64 = 45 + 19                                      1 = -18 + 19
64 = 64                                              1 = 1

{(-5,64), (2,1)}
