Given:

Focus of a parabola = \left(1,\dfrac{1}{2}\right)

Directrix: y=3

To find:

The equation of the parabola.

Solution:

The equation of a vertical parabola is:

y-k=\dfrac{1}{4a}(x-h)^2            ...(A)

Where, (h,k) is center, (h,k+a) is focus and y=k-a is the directrix.

On comparing the focus, we get

(h,k+a)=\left(1,\dfrac{1}{2}\right)

h=1

k+a=\dfrac{1}{2}           ...(i)

On comparing the directrix, we get

k-a=3              ...(ii)

Adding (i) and (ii), we get

2k=\dfrac{7}{2}

k=\dfrac{7}{4}

Putting k=\dfrac{7}{4} is (i), we get

\dfrac{7}{4}+a=\dfrac{1}{2}

a=\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{7}{4}

a=\dfrac{-5}{4}

Putting a=\dfrac{-5}{4},h=1,k=\dfrac{7}{4} in (A), we get

y-\dfrac{7}{4}=\dfrac{1}{4\times \dfrac{-5}{4}}(x-1)^2

y-\dfrac{7}{4}=\dfrac{-1}{5}(x^2-2x+1)

y-\dfrac{7}{4}=-\dfrac{1}{5}(x^2)-\dfrac{1}{5}(-2x)-\dfrac{1}{5}(1)

y=-\dfrac{1}{5}x^2+\dfrac{2}{5}x-\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{7}{4}

On further simplification, we get

y=-\dfrac{1}{5}x^2+\dfrac{2}{5}x+\dfrac{35-4}{20}

y=-\dfrac{1}{5}x^2+\dfrac{2}{5}x+\dfrac{31}{20}

Therefore, the equation of the parabola is y=-\dfrac{1}{5}x^2+\dfrac{2}{5}x+\dfrac{31}{20}.

Note: Option C is correct but the leading coefficient should be negative.

You synthetic division to find P(3) for p(x)=x^4-6x^3-4x^2-6x-2
klio [65]
By the polynomial remainder theorem, the remainder upon dividing p(x) by x-3 will be the value of p(3).

... | 1 ... -6 ... -4 ... -6 .... -2
3. | .. ...  3 ... -9 ... -39 .. -135 
--------------------------------------
... | 1 ... -3 ... -13 . -45 .. -137

So you have

\dfrac{x^4-6x^3-4x^2-6x-2}{x-3}=x^3-3x^2-13x-45-\dfrac{137}{x-3}

which means p(3)=-137.

At 11:00 a.m., John started driving along a highway at constant speed of 50 miles per hour. A quarter of an hour later, Jimmy st
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

12:05 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let z be the number of hours, from 11:00 am, when Jimmy would catch up with John. The time that Jimmy will have to drive to catch up with John is z - 1/4 as he started a quarter of an hour late. When Jimmy would catch up with John, they would have traveled the same distance. Hence

50 z = 65 (z - 1/4)

Solve for t

50z = 65z - 65/4

z = 65/60 = 1.083 hours = 1 hour and 5 minutes

Jim will catch up with John at

11:00 am + 1 hour 5 minutes = 12:05 pm
