Parabola with focus (2, 1) and directrix x=-8

Mathematics

scoray [572]2 years ago

Consider we need to find the equation of the parabola.

Given:

Parabola with focus (2, 1) and directrix x=-8.

To find:

The equation of the parabola.

Solution:

We have directrix x=-8. so, it is a horizontal parabola.

The equation of a horizontal parabola is

(y-k)^2=4p(x-h)           ...(i)

where, (h,k) is center, (h+p,k) is focus and x=h-p is directrix.

On comparing focus, we get

(h+p,k)=(2,1)

h+p=2          ...(ii)

k=1

On comparing directrix, we get

h-p=-8         ...(iii)

Adding (ii) and (iii), we get

2h=2+(-8)

2h=-6

Divide both sides by 2.

h=-3

Putting h=-3 in (ii), we get

-3+p=2

p=2+3

p=5

Putting h=-3, k=1 and p=5 in (i), we get

(y-1)^2=4(5)(x-(-3))

(y-1)^2=20(x+3)

Therefore, the equation of the parabola is (y-1)^2=20(x+3).

Levart [38]

Answer:

x>=0

Step-by-step explanation:

From the equation, we can see that x must be greater or equal to 0. This is true because every answer to an absolute value is positive or equal to 0. That is your answer.

Center ( 9,-8 ), passes through ( 19,22 )
katovenus [111]
Center at (h,k) and radius r is
(x-h)²+(y-k)²=r²

so given
center at (9,-8)

(x-9)²+(y-(-8))²=r²
(x-9)²+(y+8)²=r²

input the point (19,22) to find r²
x=19 and y=22
(19-9)²+(22+8)²=r²
10²+30²=r²
100+900=r²
1000=r²
10√10=r

well, the equation is
(x-9)²+(y+8)²=1000

What is the sum of this infinite geometric series
nordsb [41]

You probably know that for |r|, we have

\displaystyle\sum_{i=0}^\infty ar^i=\dfrac a{1-r}

Your sum starts at i=1, so it's equivalent to

\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^\infty 12\left(\dfrac12\right)^i=\sum_{i=0}^\infty 12\left(\dfrac12\right)^i-12\left(\dfrac12\right)^0=\dfrac{12}{1-\frac12}-12=12

so the answer is A.
