Answer:

y=-\frac{1}{8}x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the standard form of the equation of the parabola with a focus at (0, -2) and a directrix at y = 2

The distance between the focust and the directrix is the value of 2p

Distance beween focus (0,-2) and y=2 is 4

2p=4, p=2

The distance between vertex and focus is p that is 2

Focus is at (0,-2) , so the vertex is at (0,0)

General form of equation is

y-k=-\frac{1}{4p}(x-h)^2

where (h,k) is the vertex

Vertex is (0,0) and p = 2

The equation becomes

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

y=-\frac{1}{8}x^2

Hello,
The parabola having like focus (0,p/2) and as directrix y=-p/2 has as equation x²=2py

Here -p/2=2==>p=-4

x²=-8y is the equation.

Given the function f(x) = 3|x – 2| + 6, for what values of x is f(x) = 18?
Gwar [14]

Answer:

x = - 2, x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(x) = 18 we require to solve

3 | x - 2 | + 6 = 18 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

3 | x - 2 | = 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )

| x - 2 | = 4

The absolute value function always returns a positive value, however, the expression inside can be positive or negative, thus

x - 2 = 4 ( add 2 to both sides )

x = 6

OR

- (x - 2) = 4

- x + 2 = 4 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

- x = 2 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = - 2

As a check substitute these values into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then they are the solutions

x = 6 → 3|6 - 2| + 6 = 3|4| + 6 = 3(4) + 6 = 12 + 6 = 18 ← True

x = - 2 → 3|- 2 - 2| + 6 = 3|-4| + 6 = 3(4) + 6 = 12 + 6 = 18 ← True

Hence solutions are x = - 2, x = 6

Por término de temporada varias tiendas liquidan pantalones. Su precio de temporada era de $6. 990. Si quiero comprar tres panta
nlexa [21]

La tienda que ofrezca la mejor oferta por tres pantalones será aquella que tenga el mayor descuento de liquidación posible.

<h3>Análisis contextual de una pregunta incompleta</h3>

En este problema no es posible determinar cuántas tiendas existen ni los descuentos de liquidación (x) correspondientes a cada uno y que todas las tiendas venden los pantalones al mismo precio de temporada (C).

Las condiciones <em>matemáticas</em> de cada variable es:

C = 6990  (1)

x \in [0, 1)   (2)

n = 3   (3)

La fórmula matemática para el precio final (C'), en pesos, es la siguiente:

C' = 3\cdot (6990)\cdot (1-x)   (4)

Consideremos el caso de N tiendas, cada una con un descuento de liquidación por cada pantalón y que ese descuento es aplicable a la compra de tres pantalones, entonces la tienda que ofrezca la mejor oferta por tres pantalones será aquella que tenga el mayor descuento de liquidación posible. \blacksquare
