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.

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

x < -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide both sides by 4. Since 4 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.

−4x−3> 36/4

Divide 36 by 4 to get 9.

−4x−3>9

Add 3 to both sides.

−4x>9+3

Add 9 and 3 to get 12.

−4x>12

Divide both sides by −4. Since −4 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.

x< 12/-4

Divide 12 by −4 to get −3.

x < -3
