<u>Answer:</u>

y=-\frac{1}{16} x^2

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Equation of parabola with focus at (0,-4) and directrix is y=4.

We know that parabola is the locus of all the points such that the distance from fixed point on the parabola to fixed line directrix is the same.

The parabola is opening downwards.

Let any point on parabola is (x,y).

Distance from focus(0,-4) to (x,y) = \sqrt{(x-0)^2+(y-(-4))^2}=|y-4|

\sqrt{(x-0)^2+(y-+4)^2}=|y-4|

(x-0)^2+(y+4)^2=(y-4)^2

(x)^2+(y+4)^2=(y-4)^2

x^2+(y^2+4y+4y+16)=y^2-4y-4y+16

x^2+y^2+8y+16=y^2-8y+16

x^2+16y^2=0

16y=-x^2

y=-\frac{1}{16} x^2

10. Both x and y vary inversely with each other. When x is 10, y is 6,which of the following is not a possible pair of correspon
elena55 [62]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  D) 45 and 1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The "varies inversely" relationship is described by the equation ...

  y = k/x . . . . . . y varies inversely with x (and vice versa)

The value of k can be found from known values of x and y:

  xy = k . . . . . . multiply the above equation by x

  (10)(6) = k = 60 . . . . using the given values

__

To check if a given pair of numbers satisfies ...

  y = 60/x

you can multiply them together to see if the product is 60.

  (A) 12×5 = 60

  (B) 15×4 = 60

  (C) 25×2.4 = 60

  (D) 45×1.2 = 54 . . . . . not a possible pair of corresponding values.

45 and 1.2 are not a possible solution for x and y.
