Answer:

The parabola is negative, with a vertex at (7, -7) and a line of symmetry at x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

A parabola is set of all points in a plane which are an equal distance away from a given point (focus) and given line (directrix).

Let (x_0,y_0) be any point on the parabola.

Find an equation for the distance between (x_0,y_0) and the focus.  

Find an equation for the distance between (x_0,y_0) and directrix. Equate these two distance equations, simplify, and the simplified equation in x_0 and y_0 is equation of the parabola.

Distance between (x_0,y_0) and the focus (7, -11):

\sqrt{(x_0-7)^2+(y_0+11)^2}

Distance between (x_0,y_0) and the directrix, y = -3:

|y_0+3|

Equate the two distance expressions and simplify, making y_0 the subject:

\sqrt{(x_0-7)^2+(y_0+11)^2}=|y_0+3|

(x_0-7)^2+(y_0+11)^2=(y_0+3)^2

{x_0}^2-14x_0+49+{y_0}^2+22y_0+121={y_0}^2+6y_0+9

{x_0}^2-14x_0+16y_0+161=0

y_0=-\frac{1}{16} {x_0}^2+\frac{7}{8} x_0-\frac{161}{16}

This equation in (x_0,y_0) is true for all other values on the parabola so we can rewrite with (x, y)

Therefore, the equation of the parabola with focus (7, -11) and directrix is y = -3 is:

y=-\frac{1}{16} {x}^2+\frac{7}{8} x-\frac{161}{16}

⇒ y=-\frac{1}{16} (x-7)^2-7  (in vertex form)

So the parabola is negative, with a vertex at (7, -7) and a vertical line of symmetry at x = 7

To solve y and x, I am adding a picture
Viktor [21]

Answer:

x =\sqrt 5

y = \sqrt{5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached triangle

Required

Solve for x

Considering angle 45 degrees, we have:

\cos(45) = \frac{y}{\sqrt{10}} --- cosine formula i.e. adj/hyp

Solve for y

y = \sqrt{10} * \cos(45)

In radical form, we have:

y = \sqrt{10} * \frac{1}{\sqrt 2}

y = \sqrt{10/2}

y = \sqrt{5

To solve for x, we make use of Pythagoras theorem

x^2 + y^2 = (\sqrt{10})^2

x^2 + y^2 =10

Substitute for y

x^2 + (\sqrt 5)^2 =10

x^2 + 5 =10

Collect like terms

x^2  =10-5

x^2=   5

Solve for x

x =\sqrt 5
