The vertex of the parabola is at (5,3) and its focal length is 8/4 = 2.
Since it opens to the right, the directrix will be a vertical line 2 units to the left of the vertex, so its equation will be x=(5-2), or x=3
40 because 3+6+12 = 21 and 8+11+21 =40
I think you could multiply or divide. Hope this helps:)
Step-by-step explanation:
factor 4 out of the variable terms, as this helps.
but my approach is simply to define the target and then calculate "backwards".
we want to find
(ax + b)² = a²x² + 2abx + b²
and now we compare with the original equation :
a²x² = 4x²
a² = 4
a = 2
2abx = 16x
2×2×bx = 16x
4b = 16
b = 4
b² = 16, but we have only 3, so we need to subtract 16-3 = 13 from the completed square.
so, our equation is
(2x + 4)² - 13 = 0
(2x + 4)² = 13
2x + 4 = sqrt(13)
2x = sqrt(13) - 4
x = sqrt(13)/2 - 2
