Answer:
A parabola is the set of all points equidistant from the directrix and focus.
The line of symmetry intersects the focus and directrix
The line of symmetry and the directrix are perpendicular
Step-by-step explanation:
A parabola is the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from a fixed point (focus) and a line (directrix).
The fixed line of a parabola is known as the directrix of the parabola.
The line of symmetry is a line that passes through the focus and is perpendicular to the directrix. The line of symmetry divides the parabola.
The directrix of a parabola does not intersect touch the parabola
The answer is 50 y squared minus 4 x squared
Step-by-step explanation:
It seems here that they are asking us to solve for x
to do this we first need to factor
Since we can't factor this using the normal method we can instead do this
x^2 -4x-17=0
add 4 to both sides as it is a perfect square
x^2 - 4x + 4 = 17 +4
(x-2)^2 = sqrt 21
x-2 = ± 4.58
x -2 = 4.58 x-2 = -4.58
x= 6.58 x=-2.58
Or just say x=2+√21 or x=2−√21
