Derive the equation of the parabola with a focus at (2, −1) and a directrix of y = −one half.f(x) = −(x + 2)2 − three fourths
f(x) = (x + 2)2 + three fourths
f(x) = −(x − 2)2 + three fourths
f(x) = −(x − 2)2 − three fourths

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Basically, the parabola has to have all points that are equidistant from the focus and the directrix, the directrix being a horizontal line, and the focus being a point given. To derive an equation from this you need to use the distance formula which I'm guessing you already know because you're already in precalc.
The gist of it is that we have a random point on the parabola (x,y), and the point (x,y) will be equidistant from both the focus and the directrix. If we use the distance formula, you get something like this:
\sqrt{(y-(- (1)/(2) ))^2} = √((x-2)^2+(y-(-1)^2)
The square root of y-(-1/2) coming from the directrix, and the righthand side of the equal sign being derived from the focus.
All you need to do is simplify now!
(y+(1)/(2))^2 = (x-2)^2+(y+1)^2 \n\ y^2+y+ (1)/(4) = x^2-4x+4 + y^2+2y+1 \n\ -y-(3)/(4) = x^2-4x+4 \n\ -y-(3)/(4) = (x-2)^2 \n\ -y = (x-2)^2+(3)/(4) \n\ y = -(x-2)^2-(3)/(4)

Hope I helped!

What is the x-intercept of the line with this equation −2x 12y=18 enter your answer in the box. (?, 0)

Answers

Answer:

x-intercept of the given line is, (-9, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

x-intercept says that a line crosses the x-axis

Substitute y = 0 and solve for x.

As per the statement:

An equation of line is given as:

-2x+2y = 18

To find the x-intercept:

Substitute y = 0 and solve for x:

-2x+12(0) = 18

⇒-2x = 18

Divide both sides by -2 we get;

x = -9

Therefore, the x-intercept of the line is, (-9, 0)

I did this test too! The answer was (-9, 0)

Hi there! :)

C. has both jump and infinite discontinuity.

Evaluate both piecewise functions at x = 1;

1 / (x + 1) = 1 / ((1) + 1) = 1/2

2x - 1 = 2(1) - 1 = 1

As the piecewise functions contain different y-values when evaluated at

x = 1,  there is a jump discontinuity at x = 1.

However, the first function also contains a vertical asymptote or infinite discontinuity where it is undefined, or at x = -1. (1 / 0 = undefined). This means that the function also contains an infinite discontinuity.

Therefore, the correct choice is:

C. has both jump and infinite discontinuity.

How to solve which fraction is larger 10/13 or 11/14 or 14/15 or 17/18

Answers

To solve these type of problem you have to make the denominator the same or use the claculator.

let us do this problem by making the denominator the same.

(10)/(13) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (11)/(14) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (14)/(15)  \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (17)/(18) \n\n (10)/(13)* (3780)/(3780) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (11)/(14) * (3510)/(3510) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (14)/(15) * (3276)/(3276) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (17)/(18) * (2730)/(2730)

(37800)/(49140) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \    (38610)/(49140)  \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \    (45864)/(49140)  \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \    (46410)/(49140)

So, now. the one with the largest numerator is the largest fraction

In this case, (46410)/(49140) is the largest which is equal to (17)/(18).

So, the largest fraction is (17)/(18).

Answer: S = 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that congruent means that the sides are equal. Knowing this, we can make an equation to solve for.

We can 2s+11=8s-10.

We can then subtract 2s from both sides, getting 11=6s-10.

We can then add 10 to both sides, getting 21=6s.

Dividing both sides by 6, we get 3.5=S.

If gross pay increases by $500, total employee benefits increase by $200 and total job expenses decrease by $300, then total employment compensation

Answers

The correct answer is:

$1000

Explanation:

Your gross pay goes up $500; this is the integer +500.

Since employee benefits increase $200, this is adding 200 to our number:

500+200 = 700.

Job expenses decrease $300.  This means the amount that you pay for expenses goes down $300; this is an addition to your income:

500+200+300= 700 + 300 = 1000

Answer:

The total employment compensation is "increased by $1000"

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the total employment compensation.

Let "x" be the gross pay that an employee gets before the benefit.

The gross pay increase by $500

So, the employee get x + $500

The employee benefits increase by $200, this is adding 200

x + 500+200 = x + 700.

The Job expenses decrease by $300.  

Total = x + 700 + 300

Total = x + $1000

Therefore, the total employment compensation is increased by $1000.

What is the value of 8C5?

A.56

B.6720

C.960

D.40

Answers

Using, binomial coefficient, the value of 8C5 is 56, which corresponds to option A.

To calculate the value of 8C5 (8 choose 5), we use the binomial coefficient formula:

nCr = n! / (r! * (n - r)!)

where n is the total number of items, r is the number of items chosen.

In this case, n = 8 and r = 5.

8C5 = 8! / (5! * (8 - 5)!)

Now, let's calculate the factorials:

8! = 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 40,320

5! = 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 120

3! = 3 * 2 * 1 = 6

Now, substitute these values back into the formula:

8C5 = 40,320 / (120 * 6)

8C5 = 40,320 / 720

8C5 = 56

Therefore, the value of 8C5 is 56, which corresponds to option A.
