Scale factor is used by architects or engineers to transfer their prototype idea to large-scale use. If the volume of a prism is 20, you need to multiply its dimensions with a scale factor to find the new volume which is 540. For example, if the volume is doubled, this means you used a scale factor of 2. Hence, you just have to divide the new volume by the smaller volume.
Scale factor = 540/20
Scale factor = 27
Answer: 1) Vertex: (6, -2) Focus: (6, -7/4) Directrix: y = -9/4
2) Vertex: (-2, -1) Focus: (-7/4, -1) Directrix: x = -9/4
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Rewrite the equation in vertex format y = a(x - h)² + k or x = a(y - k)² + h by completing the square. Divide the b-value by 2 and square it - add that value to both sides of the equation.
- (h, k) is the vertex
- p is the distance from the vertex to the focus
- -p is the distance from the vertex to the directrix

1) y = x² - 12x + 34

2) x = y² + 2y - 1
