Answer:

The equation of a parabola is

x =  \frac{1}{4(f - h)} (y - k) ^{2}  + h

Step-by-step explanation:

(h,k) is the vertex and (f,k) is the focus.

Thus, f = 1, k = −4.

The distance from the focus to the vertex is equal to the distance from the vertex to the directrix: f - h = h - 2.

Solving the system, we get h = 3/2, k = -4, f = 1.

The standard form is:

x =  -  \frac{y ^{2} }{2}  - 4y -  \frac{13}{2}

The general form is:

2x +  {y}^{2}  + 8y + 13 = 0

The vertex form is:

x =  -  \frac{(y + 4) ^{2} }{2}  +  \frac{3}{2}

The axis of symmetry is the line perpendicular to the directrix that passes through the vertex and the focus: y = -4.

The focal length is the distance between the focus and the vertex: 1/2.

The focal parameter is the distance between the focus and the directrix: 1.

The latus rectum is parallel to the directrix and passes through the focus: x = 1.

The length of the latus rectum is four times the distance between the vertex and the focus: 2.

The eccentricity of a parabola is always 1.

The x-intercepts can be found by setting y = 0 in the equation and solving for x.

x-intercept:

( -  \frac{13}{2}  \: ,0)

The y-intercepts can be found by setting x = 0 in the equation and solving for y.

y-intercepts:

(0, - 4 -  \sqrt{3)}

(0, - 4 +  \sqrt{3)}

13. Write the equation of a horizontal line that passes through the point (3, -3).
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

O y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

The line is horizontal.

x = -3 and x = 3 are vertical lines, so they are incorrect.

The line passes through (3, -3).

                                         (x ,  y)

Put y as -3.

y = 3

(-3) = 3

Line y = 3 is incorrect.

(-3) = -3

Line y = -3 is correct.

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

£13.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the share of Brendon, Asha and Julie is 3x, 2x and 6x respectively.

The total amount of money that Asha and Julie recieve is £36

i.e.

2x+6x = 36

8x = 36

x = (36/8)

Amount recieved by Brendon,

B=3\times \dfrac{36}{8}\\\\=\$13.5

So, the amount of money that brendon receives is £13.5.
