Answer:

Option a. (-5, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The focus of a parabola is a <em>point</em>. Regarding this point, each point of the parabola has the same distance to a line that is known as "directrix".

By definition, for a parabola of the form:

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

The focus of the parable is given by the point: (h, k +p)

We must identify the values of h, k and p for the given equation.

$(x + 5)^2 = 4(y - 1)$

$h = -5\\k = 1\\4p = 4\\p =1$

Now that we know the values of h, k and p we can find the focus

The focus is

(-5, 1+1)

(-5, 2).

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a² - b² = (a+ b)(a - b)

1) (2n-4/2n) ÷ (n^2-4/n)

$=\frac{2n-4}{2n}*\frac{n}{n^{2}-4}\\\\=\frac{2n-2*2}{2n}*\frac{n}{n^{2}-2^{2}}\\\\=\frac{2*(n-2)}{2n}*\frac{n}{(n+2)*(n-2)}\\\\=\frac{1}{n+2}$

2) [y^2-36/y^2-49] ÷[ y+6/y-7]

$=\frac{y^{2}-36}{y^{2}-49}*\frac{y-7}{y+6}\\\\=\frac{y^{2}-6^{2}}{y^{2}-7^{2}}*\frac{y-7}{y+6}\\\\=\frac{(y+6)*(y-6)}{(y+7)*(y-7)}*\frac{y-7}{y+6}\\\\=\frac{y-6}{y+7}\\$
