What are the focus and directrix of the parabola with the equation y = 1/2 x2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Please write this as y = (1/2)x^2 for greater clarity.  (1/2) is the coefficient of x^2 here.  

The applicable form for the equation of this quadratic is 4py = x^2.  

Your y = (1/2)x^2  becomes 2y = x^2.  Therefore, 4p = 2, or p = (1/2).

Thus, the focus is (0, 1/2) (just above the vertex, (0, 0) ), and the equation of the directrix is y = -1/2.

What is the perimeter of the polygon?
mr_godi [17]
Welp. I sure hope you like the Pythagorean theorem...
Top line:
One point is (-2,-2) while the other is (3,-3)
Thus the distance in between is sqrt((3-(-2))^2+(-3-(-2))^2)=sqrt(5^2+(-1)^2)=sqrt(26)
Most right line:
One point is (4,-6) while the other is (3,-3)
Thus the distance in between is sqrt((3-4)^2+(-3-(-6))^2)=sqrt((-1)^2+3^2)=sqrt(10)
Most bottom line:
One point is (1,-6) while the other is (4,-6)
Thus the distance in between is sqrt(4-1)^2+(-6-(-6))^2)=sqrt(3^2+0^2)=sqrt(9)=3
Most bottom left line:
One point is (1,-6) while the other is (-2,-4)
Thus the distance in between is sqrt((1-(-2))^2+(-6-(-4))^2)=sqrt(3^2+(-2)^2)=sqrt(13)
Lastly the most left line:
One point is (-2,-2) while the other is (-2,-4)
Thus the distance in between is sqrt((-2-(-2))^2+(-2-(-4))^2)=sqrt(0^2+(2)^2)=sqrt(4)=2
Thus to find the perimeter, we add up all the sides to get
sqrt(26)+sqrt(10)+3+sqrt(13)+2=16.8668 or B

Can you please help really, please?
Tanya [424]
For lesson 4 10^15/10^4= 10^11 because when you are dividing with exponents you have to subtract the bottom exponent with the top one so 15-4=11; 10^15/10^4=10^11
