Answer:

Equation: (x-2)^2=16(y-2)

Vertex: (2,2)

Directrix: y=-2

Focus: (2,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Standard Form of Vertical Parabola:</u>

  • Equation -> (x-h)^2=4p(y-k) where p\neq 0
  • Vertex -> (h,k)
  • Directrix -> y=k-p
  • Focus -> (h,k+p)

We know that our vertex is (h,k) -> (2,2), therefore, we can determine the value of p by selecting a point from the parabola as (x,y):

(x-h)^2=4p(y-k)

(x-2)^2=4p(y-2)

(6-2)^2=4p(3-2)

(4)^2=4p(1)

16=4p

4=p

<u>Therefore:</u>

  • Directrix -> y=k-p -> y=2-4 -> y=-2
  • Focus -> (h,k+p) -> (2,2+4) -> (2,6)

<u>Conclusion:</u>

  • Equation -> (x-2)^2=16(y-2)
  • Vertex -> (2,2)
  • Directrix -> y=-2
  • Focus -> (2,6)

3x^2+6x-9=0 complete the square
PolarNik [594]
You could simplify this work by factoring "3" out of all four terms, as follows:

3(x^2 + 2x - 3) =3(0) = 0

Hold the 3 for later re-insertion.  Focus on "completing the square" of x^2 + 2x - 3.

1.  Take the coefficient (2) of x and halve it:  2 divided by 2 is 1
2.   Square this result:  1^2 = 1
3.   Add this result (1) to x^2 + 2x, holding the "-3" for later:
                    x^2 +2x 
4    Subtract (1) from x^2 + 2x + 1:     x^2 + 2x + 1               -3 -1  =    0, 
       or      x^2 + 2x + 1 - 4 = 0
5.   Simplify, remembering that x^2 + 2x + 1 is a perfect square:

                        (x+1)^2 - 4 = 0

We have "completed the square."  We can stop here.  or, we could solve for x:  one way would be to factor the left side:

            [(x+1)-2][(x+1)+2]=0     The solutions would then be:

             x+1-2=0=> x-1=0, or x=1, and
             x+1 +2 = 0 => x+3=0, or x=-3.  (you were not asked to do this).

Write the equation of the line that passes through (3, -2) and has a slope of 4 in point slope form
diamong [38]

y=mx+b is the equation of a line;

m=slope , b= y-intercept

m=4 ; so we have : y=4x+b

We are give a set of points which it passes through, we can simply plug them in:

-2 = 4(3)+b (3 is the x and -2 is the y)

We get -2 = 12 +b .... -14=b

our final equation is : y=4x-14

Is the graphed function linear?
Anna11 [10]

Yes, because each input value corresponds to exactly one output value.Yes, because the outputs increase as the inputs increase.No, because the graph is not continuous.No, because the curve indicates that the rate of change is not constant.

Line t passes through points (10, 1) and (2, 6). Line u is perpendicular to t. What is the slope of line u?
diamong [38]

Let's find the slope for line t first.

We can use the given points 2,6 and 10,1 to find the slope using the slope formula.

\frac{y.2 - y.1}{x.2 - x.1} = m

1 - 6 / 10 - 2

-5/8

The slope is -5/8.

Because we know the slope of this line, we can find the slope of the next line instantly, as they are perpendicular.

When a slope is perpendicular to another, it is equal to the negative reciprocal.

Negative reciprocal of -5/8 = 8/5

<h3>The slope of line u is 8/5</h3>
