Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar(s). A parabola is given by the equation y = x2 + 4x + 4.

The vertex of the parabola is -2,0 . The focus of the parabola is . The directrix of the parabola is given by the equation y = . Note: Separate coordinates inside parentheses with a comma.

<span><span>Graph <span>x2<span> = 4</span>y</span><span> and state the vertex, focus, axis of symmetry, and directrix.</span></span><span>This is the same graphing that I've done in the past: </span><span>y = (1/4)x2</span><span>. So I'll do the graph as usual:</span></span><span> </span><span>The vertex is obviously at the origin, but I need to "show" this "algebraically" by rearranging the given equation into the conics form:<span>x2 = 4y</span> Copyright © Elizabeth Stapel 2010-2011 All Rights Reserved<span>
(x – 0)2 = 4(y – 0)</span><span>This rearrangement "shows" that the vertex is at </span><span>(h, k) = (0, 0)</span><span>. The axis of symmetry is the vertical line right through the vertex: </span><span>x = 0</span>. (I can always check my graph, if I'm not sure about this.) The focus is "p" units from the vertex. Since the focus is "inside" the parabola and since this is a "right side up" graph, the focus has to be above the vertex.<span>From the conics form of the equation, shown above, I look at what's multiplied on the unsquaredpart and see that </span><span>4p = 4</span><span>, so </span><span>p = 1</span><span>.

To graph, I'll do my T-chart backwards, picking </span>y<span>-values first and then finding the corresponding </span>x<span>-values for </span><span>x = –y2 – 10y – 25</span>:<span>To convert the equation into conics form and find the exact vertex, etc, I'll need to convert the equation to perfect-square form.

(y + 5)2 = –1(x – 0)</span><span>This tells me that </span><span>4p = –1</span><span>, so </span><span>p = –1/4</span><span>. Since the parabola opens to the left, then the focus is </span>1/4<span> units to the left of the vertex. I can see from the equation above that the vertex is at </span><span>(h, k) = (0, –5)</span><span>, so then the focus must be at </span>(–1/4, –5)<span>. The parabola is sideways, so the axis of symmetry is, too. The directrix, being perpendicular to the axis of symmetry, is then vertical, and is </span>1/4<span> units to the right of the vertex.

I'll get the </span>y stuff by itself on one side of the equation, and then complete the square to convert this to conics form.<span>y2 + 6y – 15 = –12x</span> <span><span>
y</span>2 + 6y + 9 – 15 = –12x + 9</span> <span>
(y + 3)2 – 15 = –12x + 9</span> <span>
(y + 3)2 = –12x + 9 + 15 = –12x + 24</span> <span>
(y + 3)2 = –12(x – 2)</span> <span>
(y – (–3))2 = 4(–3)(x – 2)</span></span><span><span>Then the vertex is at </span><span>(h, k) = (2, –3)</span><span> and the value of </span>p<span> is </span>–3<span>. Since </span>y<span> is squared and </span>p<span> is negative, then this is a sideways parabola that opens to the left. This puts the focus </span>3 units to the left of the vertex.<span>vertex: </span>(2, –3)<span>; focus: </span><span>(–1, –3)</span></span>

Let g(x)=6-2x then g(0)=<br><br> Simple functions
Aleonysh [2.5K]
<h3>Given :</h3>

\tt g(x)=6-2x

<h3>To Find :</h3>

\tt g(0)= ?

<h3>Solution :</h3>

\tt g(x)=6-2x

\tt By \: putting \: x = 0

\tt \implies g(0)=6-2(0)

\tt \implies g(0)=6 - 0

\tt \implies g(0)= 6

\pink{\tt \therefore \: value \: of \: g(0)= 6}

Use the net to find the surface area of the square pyramid. A) 210 in2 B) 320 in2 C) 420 in2 D) 450 in2
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

D. 420

The area of a triangle is

\frac{1}{2} bh

half of(base× height)

10×16= 160

160÷2=80

That is the surface area of ONE triangle.

multiply 80 by 4 to get 320

then find the surface area of the square by doing length×width to get 100

Finally add them together

320+100=420
