Answer:

Part 1) The directrix of the parabola is y=-4.25

Part 2) The focus of the parabola is F(1,-3.75)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

y=x^{2}-2x-3

This is a vertical parabola open upward

we know that

If a parabola has a vertical axis, the standard form of the equation of the parabola is

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

where

p≠ 0

The vertex of this parabola is at (h, k).

The focus is at (h, k + p).

The directrix is the line y = k - p.

The axis is the line x = h.

step 1

Convert the equation of the parabola in standard form

y=x^{2}-2x-3

y+3=x^{2}-2x

y+3+1=x^{2}-2x+1

y+4=x^{2}-2x+1

y+4=(x-1)^{2}

so

(x-1)^{2}=(y+4) ----> equation in standard form

The vertex is the point (1,-4)

4p=1 ------> p=1/4

step 2

Find the directrix of the parabola

The directrix is the line y = k - p

we have

k=-4

p=1/4

substitute the values

y = k - p

y=-4-(1/4)=-17/4

y=-4.25

step 3

Find the focus of the parabola

we know that

The focus is at (h, k + p).

we have

h=1

k=-4

p=1/4

substitute

F(1,-4+1/4)

F(1,-3.75)

Rhombus ABCD with vertices A(2, 6), B(6, 7),<br> C(5, 3), and D(1, 2): 180°
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rule for the rotation of a point 180° about the origin is,

(x, y) → (-x, -y)

Therefore, images of the points after the rotation of 180° will be,

A(2, 6) → A'(-2, -6)

B(6, 7) → B'(-6, -7)

C(5, 3) → C'(-5, -3)

D(1, 2) → D'(-1, -2)

Now we can plot these points on the graph as attached.

What are the lengths of SV and QT? no links.
maxonik [38]

ok so we see that TR is 17 units, so RV is the same amount

3x+2 so 3x=15 so divide both sides by 3 we get x=5

now we know x=5 4x+1=21 and 9x-4=41
