What is the line of symmetry for the parabola whose equation is y equals -x2 plus x plus 3?
For a quadratic equation y=Ax2+Bx+C, the line of symmetry is given by x=-B/2ASo for the equation y=-x2+x+3, B is 1 and A is -1, so the line of symmetry isx=1/2
What is the directrix of a parabola?
"From the geometric point of view, the given point is the focus of the parabola and the given line is its directrix. It can be shown that the line of symmetry of the parabola is the line perpendicular to the directrix through the focus. The vertex of the parabola is the point of the parabola that is closest to both the focus and directrix."-http://www.personal.kent.edu/~rmuhamma/Algorithms/MyAlgorithms/parabola.htm"A line perpendicular to the axis of symmetry used in the definition of a parabola. A parabola is defined as follows: For a given point, called the focus, and a given line not through the focus, called the directrix, a parabola is the locus, or set of points, such that the distance to the focus equals the distance to the directrix."-http://www.mathwords.com/d/directrix_parabola.htm
What is the slope of a line that is parallel to the line represented by the equation y-5x equals 5?
5
What type of function is represented by the equation y equals -2lxl?
y - |x| is an expression, not a function.
Y equals b plus x plus x2?
y=b+x+x^2 This is a quadratic equation. The graph is a parabola. The quadratic equation formula or factoring can be used to solve this.
What is the line of symmetry for the parabola whose equation is y equals x2 - 12x plus 7?
At: x = 6
An equation of a parabola that has x equals 2 as its axis of symmetry is?
How about y = (x - 2)2 = x2 - 4x + 4 ? That is the equation of a parabola whose axis of symmetry is the vertical line, x = 2. Its vertex is located at the point (2, 0).
What is the line of symmetry for the parabola whose equation is y equals x2 plus 10x plus 25?
When x = -5
What is the line of symmetry for the parabola whose equation is y equals 3x2 plus 24x - 1?
Vertical line of symmetry cuts through x = -4 - (sqrt of 3)
What is the parabola fo y equals 4-16y-11?
The equation does not represent that of a parabola.
What is the line of symmetry for the parabola whose equation is y equals -x2 plus x plus 3?
For a quadratic equation y=Ax2+Bx+C, the line of symmetry is given by x=-B/2ASo for the equation y=-x2+x+3, B is 1 and A is -1, so the line of symmetry isx=1/2
What is Y equals x squared plus 1?
It is the equation of a parabola.
What is the parabola y equals -x2-3x plus 2?
It is the parabola such that the coordinates of each point on it satisfies the given equation.
Can you solve X2 plus Y equals 63?
No you can't. There is no unique solution for 'x' and 'y'. The equation describes a parabola, and every point on the parabola satisfies the equation.
What is the slope of a parabola of equation x equals cy2?
1/([*sqrt(cx)]
The position of an object starting from rest is described by the equation x equals 0.5at2 where x and t are measured variables Determine a based on the equation y equals mx plus b?
X equals 0.5at squared is a quadratic equation. It describes a parabola. Y equals mx plus b is a linear equation. It describes a line. You cannot describe a parabola with a linear equation.
Y equals ax2 - 2x - 3 The line of symmetry is x equals 1 Does an equal 1 or -1 or 2?
For the equation ax2-2x-3, the quadratic coefficients are:a=a,b=-2c=-3.The equation of the line of symmetry is:x= -b/2aAs we know that the line of symmetry is x=1,we get:1 = 2/2a, so2a = 2and a = 1.We get a bowl-shaped parabola, whose lowest point is (1,-4).
