Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

number of sticks are 6,10,14,...

d=10-6=4

$a_{n}=a_{1}+(n-1)d\\a_{6}=6+(6-1)*4\\=6+5*4\\=26\\$

$a_{n}=a_{1}+(n-1)d$

Part 2: Identify the vertex, focus, and directrix of each. Then sketch the graph.

Answer: $\bold{1.\quad \text{Vertex}}:(-3,-6)\qquad \text{Focus}:\bigg(-3,-\dfrac{17}{4}\bigg)\qquad \text{Directrix}:y=-\dfrac{19}{4}$

2. Vertex: (-5, 4) Focus: (-6, 4) Directrix: x = -4

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The vertex form of a parabola is y = a(x - h)² + k or x = a(y - k)² + h

(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

$\bullet \quad a=\dfrac{1}{4p}$

1) y = (x + 3)² - 6 → a = 1 (h, k) = (-3, -6)

$a=\dfrac{1}{4p}\qquad \rightarrow \qquad 1=\dfrac{1}{4p} \qquad \rightarrow \qquad p=\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\\text{Focus = Vertex + p}\\\\.\qquad =\dfrac{-18}{4}+\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\.\qquad = -\dfrac{17}{4}\qquad \rightarrow \qquad \text{Focus}=\bigg(-3,-\dfrac{17}{4}\bigg)\\\\\\\text{Directrix: y = Vertex - p}\\\\.\qquad \quad y=\dfrac{-18}{4}-\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\.\qquad \quad y= -\dfrac{19}{4}$

$2.\quad x=-\dfrac{1}{4}(y-4)^2-5\qquad \rightarrow \quad a=\dfrac{1}{4}\qquad (h, k)=(-5,4)$

$a=\dfrac{1}{4p}\qquad \rightarrow \qquad -\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{1}{4p} \qquad \rightarrow \qquad p=-1\\\\\text{Focus = Vertex + p}\\\\.\qquad =-5+\ -1\\\\.\qquad = -6\qquad \rightarrow \qquad \text{Focus}=(-6,4)\\\\\\\text{Directrix: y = Vertex - p}\\\\.\qquad \quad y=-5+\ -1\\\\.\qquad \quad y= -4$
