Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
∵ The quadratic equation form is :
y = [1/2(b - k)] (x - a)² + (b + k)/2
Where (a , b) is the focus and directrix y = k
∵ The focus is (4 , -3) and directix is y = -6
∵
∴
∴
another way:
Assume that (x , y) is the general point on the parabola
∵ The distance between the directrix and (x , y) = the distance between the focus and (x , y)
By using the distance rule:
∵ (y - -6)² = (x - 4)² + (y - -3)² ⇒ (y + 6)² = (x - 4)² + (y + 3)
∴ y² + 12y + 36 = (x - 4)² + y² + 6y + 9
∴ 12y - 6y = (x - 4)² + 9 - 36
∴ 6y = (x - 4)² - 27 ⇒ ÷ 6
∴ y = 1/6 (x - 4)² - 9/2
Answer:
D. x = 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
A graphing calculator is the quickest way to get to an answer here.
f(x) = g(x) for x = 0.5
__
We can find the y-intercepts of the two functions to be ...
f(0) = -3
g(0) = -2
We know the x-intercept of g(x) is x=4. The x-intercept of f(x) will be a value less than 1, because f(1) = 1. (The function crosses the x-axis between x=0 where f(x) < 0 and x=1, where f(x) > 0.)
Considering these intercept points, we know the value of x for f(x)=g(x) will be between x=0 and x=1. There is only one answer choice in that interval:
x = 0.5
