Focus of the parabola is (-5,5) and directrix is y = -1.

Let's assume a point (x,y) on parabola.

According to definition of parabola, the distance between point (x,y) and focus (-5,5) would be same as the distance between the point (x,y) and directrix y = -1.

\sqrt{(x+5)^2+(y-5)^2} = \sqrt{(y+1)^2} \\\\(x+5)^2+(y-5)^2=(y+1)^2 \\\\(x+5)^2 + y^2 - 10y +25 = y^2 +2y +1 \\\\(x+5)^2 =  -y^2 +10y -25 + y^2 +2y +1 \\\\(x+5)^2 = 12y -24 \\\\12y =  (x+5)^2  +24 \\\\ y = \frac{1}{12} (x+5)^2  +2

Hence, option D is correct, i.e. f(x) = one twelfth (x + 5)2 + 2.

Answer:

f(x)=\frac{1}{12}(x + 5) ^ 2 +2

Step-by-step explanation:

With the focus and the directrix we can find the equation of the parabola

Imagine any point belonging to the parabola, let's call that point (x, y).

If the point (x, y) belongs to the parable sought then:

The distance between the point and the focus is:

\sqrt{(x -(-5)) ^ 2 + (y-5) ^ 2}

The distance between the point and the directrix is:

|y -(-1)|

These distances are the same for any point belonging to the parabola. Then we equal them:

\sqrt{(x+5) ^ 2 + (y-5) ^ 2}= |y+1|


We raise both sides of the equation squared and we have left:

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

Grouping equal terms and simplifying:

(x + 5) ^ 2 = [y ^ 2 + 2y +1] - [y ^ 2 -10y +25]\\ (x + 5) ^ 2 = 12y-24\\ 12y = (x + 5) ^ 2 +24\\ y = \frac{1}{12} (x + 5) ^ 2 +2

As this condition is fulfilled for all the points in the parabola, then:

f(x)=\frac{1}{12}(x + 5) ^ 2 +2 It is the equation of the parable sought, and its derivative is:

\frac{df(x)}{dx}=\frac{1}{6}(x + 5)

Show work<br> Find the volume of the pyramid
Burka [1]
<u></u><em>Hello there, and thank you for posting your question here on brainly.

______________________________________________________________
Answer: 128
</em>
<em>Why?
</em><em>______________________________________________________________
To find the volume of a cylinder, we have to use the formula lwh/3. The length is 8, width is 4, and height is 12. So we have to multiply all of those together, then divide by 3. (8 * 4 = 32) -> (32 * 12 = 384) -> (384/3 = 128) The volume is 128.

Solve and graph <br> -4 + 2t - 14 - 18t &gt; -6 - 100t
irina [24]
Okay so first u just add the terms on each side 
2t-18>-6-100t  
2(t-9)>2(-3-50t)
t-9>-3-50t
51t>6
t>6/51
t>2/17
so just take a number line put an empty circle like this : O on 2/17 and draw a line showing it continues to the right infinitely. Sorry if my math is wrong lol i am functioning on one hour of sleep.

I want to cover the curved surface of a cylinder with orange paper. My cylinder is 14” tall. The diameter is 3.5”. I have listed
Dominik [7]
Circumference of the cylinder = 3.14 x 3.5 = 10.99 = 11 inches
 so D. 11 x 14 is correct for the first part

area of the top  =  PI x r^2 = 3.14 x 1.75^2 = 9.62 inches

top and bottom = 9.62 x 2 = 19.23 = A. 19 inches

Find k so that the distance from (–1, 1) to (2, k) is 5 units. k= k= *there are two solutions for 2*
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

k = -3

k =5

Step-by-step explanation:

d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\d = 5\\(-1,1) =(x_1,y_1)\\(2,k)=(x_2,y_2)\\

5=\sqrt{\left(2-\left(-1\right)\right)^2+\left(k-1\right)^2}\\\\\mathrm{Square\:both\:sides}:\quad 25=k^2-2k+10\\25=k^2-2k+10\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:}\:25=k^2-2k+10:\\k^2-2k+10=25\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}25\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\k^2-2k+10-25=25-25\\k^2-2k-15=0\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:by\:factoring}\\\\\mathrm{Factor\:}k^2-2k-15:\quad \left(k+3\right)\left(k-5\right)\\\mathrm{Solve\:}\:k+3=0:\quad k=-3\\

\mathrm{Solve\:}\:k-5=0:\quad k=5\\\\k =5 , k=-3
