-(1/4) x2 = y . . . putting this in the standard form x2 = 4cy it becomes :
x2 = 4*(-1)y = -4y.
This tells us that the parabola is a downward opening parabola with its vertex at the origin(0.0).
The focus is at a distance of -1 from the vertex, that is (0,-1).
The directrix is equidistant to the focus but on the opposite side of the vertex and is thus the line y = 1.
The length of the chord passing through the focus and perpendicular to the major axis is called the Latus Rectum and has a length of 4c. As c = -1 then the length is 4 but again shows as a negative value as it is "below" the vertex.
Yes.
Negative one half to the fourth power equals 0.0625
It is 1 over r squared, or r to the negative second power.
1 divided by x to the third power equals x to the negative third. The derivative of x to the negative third is minus three x to the negative fourth.
(3x2)2 (5x)4 = 9x4625x4 = 5625x8
One over A squared or A to the negative 2.
Yes.
Negative one half to the fourth power equals 0.0625
One half squared equals one fourth because when you multiply one half by one half you get one fourth. This is the equivalent of saying that half of one half is one fourth.
It doesn't. Negative one to an even power equals positive one. Negative one to an odd power equals negative one.
x=-60
It is 1 over r squared, or r to the negative second power.
Negative one half to the fourth power equals 0.0625
b to the fourth power
(-2)^4 = (-2)x(-2)x(-2)x(-2) = 16
-1/4 divided by 5/8 equals -0.4 or -2/5
± 2.632148 to the fourth power equals 48.
