Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
focus at (-5, -3), and directrix y = -6
Directrix y=-6 so its a vertical parabola
so equation is
(x-h)^2 = 4p(y-k)
(h,k) is the center
P is the distance between focus and vertex
distance between focus and directrix = 2p
distance between -3 and y=-6 is 3
2p = 3
p = 3/2 or p = 1.5
Focus is (h, k+p)
given focus is (-5, -3) so h= -5 and k+p = -3
k+p=-3, plug in 1.5 for p
k + 1.5 = -3
subtract 1.5 on both sides
k = -4.5
(x-h)^2 = 4p(y-k)
divide by 6 on both sides
then subtract 4.5 on both sides
focus at (10, -4), and directrix y = 6.
Directrix y=6 so its a vertical parabola
so equation is
(x-h)^2 = 4p(y-k)
distance between focus and directrix = 2p
distance between -4 and y=6 is -4-6=-10
2p = -10
p = -5
Focus is (h, k+p)
given focus is (10, -4) so h= 10 and k+p = -4
k+p=-4, plug in 5 for p
k - 5 = -4
add 5 on both sides
k = 1
(x-h)^2 = 4p(y-k)
divide by -20 on both sides and add 1 on both sides
Answer:
1/9, 3, 27
(A / the first option listed)
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we are given an expression with an "x" in it, and we are to evaluate possible x values, which means we plug them in as the x in the expression
first,
x = -2
3ˣ → 3⁻²
when we raise something to a negative power, we simply find the positive version of that power, and put a 1 over it:
3² = 3 · 3 = 9
so, 3⁻² = (1/9)
next,
x = 1
3ˣ → 3¹
now, here we have something raised to the power of 1, which is always itself, so 3¹ = 3
(think of ^to the power of as how many times we multiply that number, so 3² = 3 · 3, 3¹ = 3)
and finally,
x = 3
3ˣ → 3³
here, we can multiply 3 by itself 3 times:
3 · 3 · 3 = 27
so, 3³ = 27
[<em>important note</em><em>: when we raise something to a power, we are </em><u><em>not</em></u><em> multiplying the base number by that number, but this is a common mistake. but the exponent is how many times we are multiplying that number, which is confusing at first}</em>
So, our answers in order are:
1/9, 3, 27 (the first option listed)
hope this helps! let me know if I should clarify anything :)
