(x-h)^2=4p(y-k)
vertex is (h,k)
p is the distance from focus to vertex and distance from vertex to directix (vertex is in middle of directix and focus)
if p is positive, the parabola opens up and the focus is above the directix
if p is negative, the parabola opens down and the focus is below the directix
 
we see the directix is over the focus (1>-1) so the parabola opens down and p is negative
distance from (5,-1) to y=1 is 2 units
2/2=1
p=-1 since p is negative
1 up from (5,-1) is (5,0)
veretx is (5,0)
(x-5)^2=4(-1)(y-0)
(x-5)^2=-4y is the equation

The answer is <span>directrix is horizontal, so the parabola is vertical </span>
<span>focus lies below the directrix, so the parabola opens downwards. </span>

<span>General equation for down-opening parabola: </span>
<span> y = a(x-h)²+k </span>
<span>with </span>
<span> a<0 </span>
<span> vertex (h,k) </span>
<span> focal length p = 1/|4a| </span>
<span> focus (h,k-p) </span>
<span> directrix (h,k+p) </span>

<span>Apply your data and solve for h, k, and a. </span>
<span>vertex is halfway between focus and directrix: (3,3) </span>
<span>h = 3 </span>
<span>k = 3 </span>

<span>distance between focus and vertex is 2, so p = 2. </span>
<span>a = -1/(4p) = -⅛ </span>

<span>y = -⅛(x-3)²+3 </span>

Erika is working on solving the exponential equation 50x = 17; however, she is not quite sure where to start. using complete sen
seropon [69]

The equation be 50x = 17 then the value of x = 17/50.

<h3>How to find the value of x?</h3>

To estimate the value of x, bring the variable to the left side and bring all the remaining values to the right side. Simplify the values to estimate the result.

Let the equation be 50x = 17

Diving both sides of the equation by 50, we get

50x/50 = 17/50

x = 17/50

Therefore, the value of x = 17/50.

Start with the given expression:
x+2x+6.

Simplify by grouping like terms:
3x+6

Isolate variable terms:
3x

Solve for x:

x

Therefor the expression holds for integers less than or equal to 14.

As a check:
x+2x+6
14+2(14)+6
46 TRUE

and:
x+2x+6
15+2(15)+6
51 FALSE

The only choice that fits is A.
