Part 1: The general form for this matches y^2 = -4cx, which implies that this opens to the left. (Imagine assigning any value of y, whether positive or negative, which would result in a positive left-hand value. Then to match this sign, the value of x must be negative so that the right-hand side becomes positive as well.)
Part 2: The distance from the vertex to the directrix is given by c. This equation has its vertex at the origin (0, 0). If it opens to the left, the directrix is a vertical line to the right of the origin. This equation is y^2 = -4(1/2)x, so c = 1/2, and the directrix has the equation x = 1/2.
Part 3: The focus is inside the parabola, but it is the same distance from the vertex as the directrix. This distance is 1/2 units, and it will be to the left of the vertex. So the focus is at (-1/2, 0).

lemme jus quickly pull you back....lol
Step-by-step explanation:
the slope of a line function is always the factor of x.
in our case here : 1/5
it is the ratio y/x indicating how many units y changes, when x changes a certain amount of units.
in our case that means y increases by 1 for every increase of x by 5.
now, the perpendicular slope simply changes x and y upside-down and flips the sign.
so, here the perpendicular slope is : -5/1 = -5
the line function looks therefore like
y = -5x + b
b is the y-intercept, and we get it by using the coordinates of the point for x and y :
-8 = -5×0 + b = b
so, the full line function is
y = -5x - 8
To solve this problem, we must assume that the man
undergoes constant acceleration as he goes down the river (therefore no other forces
must act on him except gravity). Therefore we can use the formula below to
calculate for the duration of his fall:
y = y0 + v0 t + 0.5 a t^2
where y is the distance and y0 = 0 since we set the
reference point at the bridge, v0 is the initial velocity and is also equal to
v0 = 0 since the man started from rest, therefore the equation becomes:
y = 0 + 0 t + 0.5 a t^2
y = 0.5 a t^2
Rewriting in terms of t:
t^2 = 2 y / a
t = sqrt (2y / a)
a is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^2
t = sqrt [2 * 23 / 9.8]
t = 2.17 s
Therefore the jump last only about 2.17 seconds.
Answer:
5296.125 days
Step-by-step explanation:
1 year = 365.25 days
14.5 years × 365.25 days/year = 5296.125 days
