That’s the answer because I couldn’t type it out! Hope it helped!
First factorise the top = -(w+6)
The first factorise the bottom: (w^2 + 4w -12) = (w+6) (w-2)
Therefore the two (w+6) cancels out and you are left with -1 / w-2
Y = -(1/2)(x-2)² +8
Re write it in standard form:
(y-8) = -1/2(x-2)² ↔ (y-k) = a(x-h)²
This parabola open downward (a = -1/2 <0), with a maximum shown in vertex
The vertex is (h , k) → Vertex(2 , 8)
focus(h, k +c )
a = 1/4c → -1/2 = 1/4c → c = -1/2, hence focus(2, 8-1/2) →focus(2,15/2)
Latus rectum: y-value = 15/2
Replace in the equation y with 15/2→→15/2 = -1/2(x-2)² + 8
Or -1/2(x-2)² +8 -15/2 = 0
Solving this quadratic equation gives x' = 3 and x" = 2, then
Latus rectum = 5
