Answer:

x² = -2y

Step-by-step explanation:

The focus is p away from the vertex, and so is the directrix.

To find the equation of the parabola, we must first determine if the parabola is horizontal or vertical.

If the parabola is vertical, the directrix, and focus will have the same x value but different y value compared to the vertex (h, k). You can also tell if the directrix in in the form y = k – p, and if the focus is in the form (h, k + p).

Likewise, if the parabola is horizontal, the directrix, and focus will have the same y value but different x value compared to the vertex (h,k) . You can also tell if the directrix is in the form x = h – p, and if the focus is in the form (h + p, k).

For this problem, given that the vertex is at the origin (0,0), and that the focus is at the point (0, -½).

You can tell that the x value is the same for the vertex, and focus so this must be a vertical parabola. Because this is a vertical parabola, we can use the form mentioned as earlier (x – h)² = 4p(y – k).

If h = 0, and k = 0, the p value must be the difference between the k of the vertex, and the k of the focus: -½ - 0 → -½.

Now we can just plug in our known information to derive the equation!

h = 0, k = 0, p = -½ → (x - h)² = 4p(y - k) →

(x - 0)² = 4(-½)(y - 0) → x² = -2(y - 0) →

x² = -2y.

Also p = 1/4a, if you are wondering.

So because this is a vertical parabola, x² = -2y is generally the same as y = -1/2x² in standard quadratic form. I just like to think of the horizontal parabola as an inverse quadratic because it is like reflecting over the line y = x.

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf x^2=-2y}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

First, plot the two points. We can see the focus is below the vertex. The result will be a vertical parabola. Since the parabola must contain the focus, it will have to open downward.

From this information, we know that the following equation must be used:

[tex](x-h)^2=-4p(y-k)[/tex]

where (h,k) is the vertex and p is the distance from the focus to the vertex.

Next, find p, the distance between the focus and vertex. We can use the distance formula.

[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

The vertex is (0,0) and the focus is (0, -1/2). Therefore:

[tex]x_1=0\\y_1=0\\x_2=0\\y_2= -1/2[/tex]

[tex]d=\sqrt{(0-0)^2+(0--1/2)^2}[/tex]

[tex]d=\sqrt{(0)^2+(0+1/2)^2}[/tex]

[tex]d=\sqrt{0+(1/2)^2}[/tex]

[tex]d=\sqrt{0+1/4}[/tex]

[tex]d=\sqrt{1/4}[/tex]

[tex]d=1/2[/tex]

Now we know the distance and vertex. We can plug the values into the equation.

d=1/2 and (h,k)= (0,0)

[tex](x-0)^2=-4(1/2)(y-0)[/tex]

[tex](x)^2=-2(y)[/tex]

[tex]x^2=-2y[/tex]

The equation of the parabola is x²= -2y

Answer:

Break-even point in units= 334

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Desired profit= $500

Selling price= $2

Unitary variable cost= $0.5

To calculate the number of units to be sold, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= (0 + 500) / (2 - 0.5)

Break-even point in units= 334

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the answer is 25x^2-40x+16

25x^2-40x+16 is equivalent to (5x - 4)^2.

In mathematics, multiplication is a method of finding the product of two or more numbers. It is one of the basic arithmetic operations, that we use in everyday life.

here, we have,

(5x - 4)^2

we know,

(a-b)^2= a^2-2ab+b^2

by using this, we get,

(5x - 4)^2

=5x*5x-2*5x*4+4*4

=25x^2-40x+16.

Hence, 25x^2-40x+16 is equivalent to (5x - 4)^2.

Answer:

  B.  (4, 28)

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the value of x into the first equation. This gives you the value of y.

After substitution, we have ...

  y = 8(4) -4

  y = 28

Then the point is (x, y) = (4, 28).

Answer: ab =6

have:

[tex]\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}+\frac{1}{ab}=1\\\\=>\frac{b}{ab}+\frac{a}{ab}+\frac{1}{ab}=1\\\\<=>\frac{a+b+1}{ab}=1[/tex]

=> a + b + 1 = ab

⇔ a + b + 1 - ab = 0

⇔ b - 1 - a(b - 1) + 2 = 0

⇔ (b - 1)(1 - a) = -2

because a and b are postive integers => (b - 1) and (1 - a) also are integers

=> (b - 1) ∈ {-1; 1; 2; -2;}

(1 -a) ∈  {-1; 1; 2; -2;}

because (b -1).(1-a) = -2 => we have the table:

b - 1        -1             1              2             -2

1 - a         2            -2            -1              1

a              -1            3             2              0

b              0            2             3              -1

a.b            0           6             6               0

because a and b  are postive integers

=> (a;b) = (3;2) or (a;b) = (2;3)

=> ab = 6

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

3(7-2x)-19-5(4-x) = 3(8-6x)-9x+5(4-x)

or, 21-6x-19-20+5x = 24-18x-9x+20-5x

or, 21-19-20-6x+5x = 24+20-18x-9x-5x

or, -18-x = 44-32x

or, -x+32x = 44+18

or, 31x = 62

or, x = 62/31

or, x = 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

21-6x-19-20+5x=24-18x-9x+20-5x   distribution property

-x-18=44-32x              common factors

31x-18=44                   add 32x to both sides

31x=62                  add 18 to both sides

x=2                   divide 31 to both sides(equals 2) so x equals 2

Answer: 400 calories per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Q: Tina recorded the number of calories she burned during a bike ride. The graph shows Tina’s calories burned, y, after x hours. If Tina rode her bike at a constant rate for the first three hours, what was Tina’s average calories burned, in calories per hour, between hour 0 and hour 3?

Expalanation: It is seen from the graph that her rate of burning calories increased to 1200 in the first three hours of riding and then remained constant for the rest of the period (2 extra hours).

Her rate of calorie use therefore would be given as: (total calorie used up) / (total hours spent riding for the period of usage)

This is given as: 1200 calories / 3 hours = 400 calories per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Actually, I didn't get your question, is it -3/8÷ -1/3 or -1/3÷ -3/8?

If it is -3/8÷ -1/3, the answer will be 9/8

But if is -1/3÷ -3/8, the answer will be 8/9

Step-by-step explanation:

-3/8÷ -1/3

= -3/8× 3/-1

= -9/-8

= 9/8

If your question is -1/3÷ -3/8, the answer is 8/9 in the same way.
