Answer:
x = 1/20 y^2
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a rightward opening (sideways ) parabola
Directrix = x = -5
Distance formula form point x,y to directrix and focus are equal:
(x - -5)^2 = (x-5)^2 + y^2
x^2 + 10x + 25 = x^2 - 10x + 25 + y^2
20x = y^2
x = 1/20 y^2
The picture is too blurry for me even when I try zooming in on it
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x)=2x^2+9x-5
When we are find how many times it intersects the x axis, we are finding the zero's. Set the equation equal to zero
0=2x^2+9x-5
Factor the equation
0 = (2x+1) (x-5)
2*1
1*-5 = -5
2*-5 +1*1 = -9
This checks for the first last and middle terms so we factored correctly
Then using the zero product property
2x+1 = 0 and x-5 =0
2x = -1 x=5
x = -1/2 and x=5
This function crosses the x axis 2 times
Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
16=-4x+4+4
16=-4x+8
4x=8-16
4x=-8
x=-2
