Derive the equation of the parabola with a focus at (_5, 5) and a directrix of y = -1.

mars1129 [50]

Answer: Option D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

focus = (-5,5)

and a directrix y= -1

Since, equation of parabola in this case will be

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

Now, here

$y=k-a=-1\\\\\text { focus =(h,k+a)}\\\\\text{So,} k+a=5\\\\\text{ by solving these two equation , we get }\\\\a=3\text{ and } k=2$

So equation will be

$(x+5)^2=4\times 3(y-2)\\\\(x+5)^2=12(y-3)\\\\y=\frac{1}{12}(x+5)^2+2$

So, option D is correct .

Solve this equation 90x-60y is equal to 68 and 90x-70y is equal to 91

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

90x - 60y = 68.....multiply by -1

90x - 70y = 91

---------------------------

-90x + 60y = -68 (result of multiplying by -1)

90x - 70y = 91

---------------------------add

-10y = 23

y = -23/10 <===

90x - 60y = 68

90x - 60(-23/10) = 68

90x + 138 = 68

90x = 68 - 138

90x = - 70

x = -70/90

x = -7/9 <=====
