The answer would be slope= -5/4
Hope this helps
Have a great day/night
Feel free to ask any questions
Answer:
yup and yup
Step-by-step explanation:
also 1. is yup and yup
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
Hi there!
I can see why you've posted a question like this here - For adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing fractions by whole numbers can be difficult to come out with a precise answer, so let me make it look easier for you!
So, the steps are:
Smush the 2 (whole number) and the 2 (the numerator of the fraction) together on top so its (2)(2) over 6. I can show you what I mean, if you'd like.
This is what it should look like.
Now, what is 2 times 2? You can use a calculator for this part.

Now, we can get to the last part, my favorite one!

How did we do it? EASY!
See what number does evenly into both numerators and denominators. In this case, 2 goes into 4 twice, and 2 goes into 6 three times, so we're left with our beautiful answer

That wasn't so bad, was it? You can use this as a guide for figuring out math problems like these, in case you're stuck again. But just in case, message me if you need anymore help! :D
take a screenshot and then click the little paperclip to attach the picture.... that's what you're talking about right?
