Answer:
no solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
We're given this system of equations:
x+y=3
4y=-4x-4
and we need to solve it (find the point where the lines intersect, as these are linear equations)
let's solve this system by substitution, where we will set one variable equal to an expression containing the other variable, substitute that expression to solve for the variable the expression contains, and then use the value of the solved variable to find the value of the first variable
we'll use the second equation (4y=-4x-4), as there is already only one variable on one side of the equation. Every number is multiplied by 4, so we'll divide both sides by 4
y=-x-1
now we have y set as an expression containing x
substitute -x-1 as y in x+y=3 to solve for x
x+-x-1=3
combine like terms
-1=3
This statement is untrue, meaning that the lines x+y=3 and 4y=-4x-4 won't intersect.
Therefore the answer is no solutions
Hope this helps! :)
The graph below shows the two equations graphed; they are parallel, which means they will never intersect. If they don't intersect, there's no common solution
1) We have that the equation is 
, hence y=x^2/20. The standard equation of such an equation is y=
. Hence, p=5 in this case. The focus is at (0,5) and the directrix is at y=-5 (a tip is that the directrix is always "opposite" the focus point of a parabola; if the directrix is at x=-7 for example, the focus is at (7,0)).
2) Similarly, we have that the equation is
. Thus, p=1/12. In this case, the parabola opens along the x-axis and the focus is at (1/12, 0). Also, the directrix is at x=-1/12. Hence the correct answer is B.
3) We are given that the parabola has a p of 9. Also, the focus lies along the y-axis, hence the parabola is opening along the y-axis. Finally, the focus is on the positive half, so the parabola is opening upwards. The equation for this case is y=
.
4) Similarly as above. The directrix is superfluous, we only need the p-value. THe same comments about the parabola apply and if we substitute p=8 in the formula:
we get y=
.
5) This is somewhat different, even though we do not need the directrix again. The focus lies on the x-axis, thus the parabola opens in this direction. The focus lies on the positive part of the axis, thus the parabola opens to the right. We also are given p=7. Hence, the equation we need is of the form
. Substituting p=7, we get 
.
6) The equation of a prabola with a vertex at (0,0) is of the form y=-ax^2. The minus sign is needed since the parabola is downwards. Since we are given anothe point, we can calculate a. We have to take y=-74 and x=14 feet (since left to right is 28, we need to take half).
. Thus a=0.378. Hence the correct expressions is y=-0.378*
