Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x^2 - 3x + 1

f(-2) = (-2)^(2)-3(-2)+1

f(-2) = 4 + 6 + 1

f(-2) = 11

Just substiute -2 for x and sove.

Help! How Can I Determine the interval in which the function is increasing.

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

$(2,\infty)$

Step-by-step explanation:

After x=2, we see that the change in y over the change in x is positive since both variables increase with each other, so $(2,\infty)$ is where the function is increasing.

A parabola can be drawn given a focus of

Volgvan

Answer:

$y=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2)^{2}+9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Any point on a given parabola is equidistant from focus and directrix.

Given:

Focus of the parabola is at $(2,8)$ .

Directrix of the parabola is $y=10$ .

Let $(x,y)$ be any point on the parabola. Then, from the definition of a parabola,

Distance of $(x,y)$ from focus = Distance of $(x,y)$ from directrix.

Therefore,

$\sqrt{(x-2)^{2}+(y-8)^{2}}=|y-10|$

Squaring both sides, we get

$(x-2)^{2}+(y-8)^{2}=(y-10)^{2}\\(x-2)^{2}=(y-10)^{2}-(y-8)^{2}\\(x-2)^{2}=(y-10+y-8)(y-10-(y-8))...............[\because a^{2}-b^{2}=(a+b)(a-b)]\\(x-2)^{2}=(2y-18)(y-10-y+8)\\(x-2)^{2}=2(y-9)(-2)\\(x-2)^{2}=-4(y-9)\\y-9=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2)^{2}\\y=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2)^{2}+9$
