Using a directrix of y = 5 and a focus of (4, 1), what quadratic function is created?
HELP PLS

(x-4)^2=-8(y-3)

This is a parabola.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the directrix is horizontal, the parabola faces up or down. Since the focus is below the directix it faces down. This means p will be negative in the equation (x-h)^2=4p(y-k).

p also tells us the half the distance between the focus and the directrix. The distance between 1 and 5 is 4, so p=-2.

The vertex is half way point between focus (4,1) and directrix y=5.

So the vertex is (4, [1+5]/2 )= (4 ,6/2)=(4,3). This is (h,k) in our equation.

(x-h)^2=4p(y-k)

(x-4)^2=4×-2(y-3)

(x-4)^2=-8(y-3)

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}
