Answer:we will see
Step-by-step explanation:
Let P(x,y) be a point on the parabola. The definition of a parabola is the squared distance from P to focus F(2,2) equals the squared distance to the directrix x=8.
squared distance from P(x,y) to focus F(2,2)
(x - 2)² + (y - 2)²
squared distance from P(x,y) to the directrix x=8.
(x-8)²
Those are equal in a parabola,
(x - 2)² + (y - 2)² = (x-8)²
x² - 4x + 4 + y² - 4y + 4 = x² - 16x + 64
y² - 4y - 46 = -12x
That's a sideways parabola,
x = -(y² - 4y - 46)/12
Your answer would eventually be 10 doubled would be 20, 5 doubled would be 10 you multiply by 2
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Divide through by 2
2a² - 5a + 3 = 0
To factor the quadratic
Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the a² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term
product = 2 × 3 = 6 and sum = - 5
The factors are - 2 and - 3
Use the factors to split the a- term
2a² - 2a - 3a + 3 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
2a(a - 1) - 3(a - 1) = 0 ← factor out (a - 1)
(a - 1)(2a - 3) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for a
a - 1 = 0 ⇒ a = 1
2a - 3 = 0 ⇒ 2a = 3 ⇒ a =
