Answer:
The answer is the second one
Because the focus is (-2,-2) and the directrix is y = -4, the vertex is (-2,-3).
Consider an arbitrary point (x,y) on the parabola.
The square of the distance between the focus and P is
(y+2)² + (x+2)²
The square of the distance from the point to the directrix is
(y+4)²
Therefore
(y+4)² = (y+2)² + (x+2)²
y² + 8y + 16 = y² + 4y + 4 + (x+2)²
4y = (x+2)² - 12
y = (1/4)(x+2)² - 3
Answer:
Answer: change 9x and 5x
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
y is easy.
it is the Hypotenuse (baseline) of the small right-angled triangle created by the height (8) of the main triangle, the segment 6 of the main Hypotenuse and y.
so, Pythagoras :
y² = 8² + 6² = 64 + 36 = 100
y = 10
x is a bit more complex.
I think the easiest way to get it is to know that the height of a right-angled triangle to the Hypotenuse is the square root of the product of both segments of the Hypotenuse.
so, if we call the segments of the Hypotenuse a and b with a = 6, we have
x = a + b = 6 + b
height (8) = sqrt(a×b) = sqrt(6b)
therefore,
6b = height² = 8² = 64
b = 64/6 = 32/3 = 10 2/3 = 10.66666666...
so,
x = 6 + 10.66666... = 16.666666666...
round it to what is needed. e.g. 2 positions after the decimal point (hundredths) ? then it would be 10.67
