This is a vertical parabola which opens upwards
we have the general formula
(x - h)^2 = 4p(y - k)   where p is the  y coordinate of the focus

y/14 = x^2 - x /14 - 1/14

add 1/14 to both sides

y/14 + 1 /14 = x^2 - x /14

now complete the square  

y/14 + 1/14 = x^2 - x/14  + 1/28^2

y/14 + 1/14 = (x - 1/28)^2

(x - 1/28)^2 = 1/14( y + 1)


comparing this with the general form:-
4p = 1/14
p =  1/56

so the focus is at (h,p) = (1/28, 1/56)

Answer:

The focus of the parabola is (\frac{1}{28},-1).

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

y=14x^2-x-1

y=14(x^2-\frac{x}{14})-1

Add and subtract (\frac{-b}{2})^2 in the equation to find the vertex form of the parabola.

y=14(x^2-\frac{x}{14}+(\frac{1}{28})^2-(\frac{1}{28})^2)-1

y=14(x-\frac{1}{28})^2-\frac{1}{56}-1

y=14(x-\frac{1}{28})^2-\frac{57}{56}                ... (1)

The standard equation of parabola is

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

Where, (h,k+p) is focus.

It can be written as

y=\frac{1}{4p}(x-h)^2+k                               .... (2)

From (1) and (2), we get

h=\frac{1}{28},k=\frac{-57}{56},\frac{1}{4p}=14\Rightarrow p=\frac{1}{56}

k+p=\frac{-57}{56}+\frac{1}{56}=\frac{-56}{56}=-1

(h,k+p)=(\frac{1}{28},-1)

Therefore the focus of the parabola is (\frac{1}{28},-1).

Find the volume of 2 and 1/2 1 and 1/2 and 3​
Andre45 [30]

To find the volume multiply all 3 numbers together.

2 1/2 x 1 1/2 = 3 3/4

3 3/4 x 3 = 11 1/4

The volume is 11 and 1/4 cubic units

Which of the following would NOT work to make a triangle with the two side<br> lengths of 2 and 6?
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side.

If you add 2 and 4, you will get 6. This is the right answer because the only answer that is incorrect is the 4th, it has to equal a minimum of 7, not 6.
