The parabola with vertex at (0,0) and directrix at x=-4, will open towards the right.

<h3>What is a directrix?</h3>

A parabola is a collection of points on a plane that are all at the same distance from a particular point and line. The point is called the focus of the parabola while the line is called the directrix. The directrix is perpendicular to a parabola's axis of symmetry and does not contact it.

As we know that the directrix is perpendicular to the axis of the parabola, now since the directrix is at x=-4, the parabola will be horizontal and will be opening either towards the left or the right.

As it is given that the vertex of the parabola is at (0,0) and we know that the parabola can not touch the directrix, therefore, the parabola's vertex will be at (0,0) and will open towards the right side. As shown below.

Hence, the parabola with vertex at (0,0) and directrix at x=-4, will open towards the right.

Ax+by=(a-b) , bx - ay =(a+b) simultaneous linear equations using cross multiplication
Molodets [167]

Answer:

x=1\,,\,y=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: ax+by=a-b\,,\,bx-ay=a+b

To solve: the given linear equations

Solution:

Consider the equations:

A_1x+B_1y+C_1=0\\A_2x+B_2y+C_2=0

By method of cross multiplication:

\frac{x}{B_1C_2-B_2C_1}=\frac{y}{C_1A_2-C_2A_1}=\frac{1}{A_1B_2-A_2B_1}

For equations: ax+by=a-b\,,\,bx-ay=a+b

ax+by-(a-b)=0\\bx-ay-(a+b)=0

Take A_1=a\,,\,B_1=b\,,\,C_1=-(a-b)\,,\,A_2=b\,,\,B_2=-a\,,\,C_2=-(a+b)

So,

\frac{x}{-b(a+b)-a(a-b)}=\frac{y}{-b(a-b)+a(a+b)}=\frac{1}{-a^2-b^2}\\\frac{x}{-ab-b^2-a^2+ab}=\frac{y}{-ab+b^2+a^2+ab}=\frac{1}{-(a^2+b^2)}\\\frac{x}{-(a^2+b^2)}=\frac{y}{a^2+b^2}=\frac{1}{-(a^2+b^2)}\\\frac{x}{-(a^2+b^2)}=\frac{1}{-(a^2+b^2)}\,,\,\frac{y}{a^2+b^2}=\frac{1}{-(a^2+b^2)}\\x=1\,,\,y=-1

How do you determine the range and median of a Box And Whisker Plot??
lapo4ka [179]
The median ( Q2 ) divides the data set into two parts, the upper set and the lower set. The lower quartile ( Q1 ) is the median of the lower half, and the upper quartile ( Q3 ) is the median of the upper half. Example: Find Q1 , Q2 , and Q3 for the following data set, and draw a box-and-whisker plot.
