There is not enough information. You need either the directrix or vertex (or some other item of information).

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.


How do you solve for roots in a parabola?

If the equation of the parabola isy = ax^2 + bx + c then the roots are [-b +/- sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/(2a)


How do you find the y-coordinate vertex of a parabola?

Once you calculate the X coordinate using the axis of symmetry (X=-b/2a), you plug that value in for all of the X's in the equation of the parabola. You then solve the equation for the value of Y.


How can solve the effect of a and q in a parabola?

In a parabola defined by the equation ( y = ax^2 + q ), the parameter ( a ) determines the direction and width of the parabola, while ( q ) represents the vertical shift. To solve the effect of ( a ), consider its value: if ( a > 0 ), the parabola opens upward and is narrower as ( |a| ) increases; if ( a < 0 ), it opens downward and becomes wider as ( |a| ) decreases. The parameter ( q ) shifts the entire parabola up or down by ( q ) units without altering its shape. Adjusting these parameters allows for a comprehensive understanding of the parabola's position and orientation in the coordinate plane.


How do you find the a value in a parabola?

To find the "a" value in a parabola, which determines its width and direction (opening upwards or downwards), you can use the standard form of a quadratic equation: (y = ax^2 + bx + c). If you have a specific point on the parabola and the values of (b) and (c), you can substitute these into the equation along with the coordinates of the point to solve for (a). Alternatively, if the parabola is in vertex form, (y = a(x-h)^2 + k), you can derive (a) using the vertex and another point on the curve.

How do you do a parabola?

A parabola is a graph of a 2nd degree polynomial function. Two graph a parabola, you must factor the polynomial equation and solve for the roots and the vertex. If factoring doesn't work, use the quadratic equation.

How do you find the y intercept on a parabola?

If you know the equation, you just plug in x = 0 and solve.


Where does the parabola cross the x axis?

Set y = 0 and solve for x, with a parabola you should get one, two, or no x-axis crossings, it depends on the equation and the location on the x-y axis of the parabola.

What is the focus of a parabola?

The focus of a parabola is a fixed point that lies on the axis of the parabola "p" units from the vertex. It can be found by the parabola equations in standard form: (x-h)^2=4p(y-k) or (y-k)^2=4p(x-h) depending on the shape of the parabola. The vertex is defined by (h,k). Solve for p and count that many units from the vertex in the direction away from the directrix. (your focus should be inside the curve of your parabola)

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.


Formula for the latus rectum of a parabola?

The formula for the Latus rectum is simply 2L = 4a with a stands for the distance of the focus from the vertex of the parabola. Given a, you can simply solve for the length of the latus rectum by using this formula.. L = 2a

How do you solve the Van't Hoff equation?

You don't really solve the equation. You use it. Having said that, see the Wikipedia article, which has an adequate discussion of the equation and shows it in a few forms.
