Answer: -8

Explanation: If g(x) = x² + 2x - 8, then g(-2) = (-2)² + 2(-2) - 8

which simplifies to 4 + (-4) - 8 or 0 - 8 which is -8.

Remember to always use parentheses when

substituting your given value in for <em>x</em>.

(-2h3n2)(-5h2n2)<br> How

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer: 9h x 8n^2

we rearrange this underneath the question (-5h-2h) (2nx3n)(2+2) or if 2^2 see explanation. It must therefore be 7h6n4

Step-by-step explanation:

if its ^2 )(power2) then the second reasonable answer is (7h-2h)(2n^2 x 2n^2)=9h x 4n^2 x4n^2 =9h 8n^2 or 17hn^2 but i leave as 9h 8n^2

You can expand only if multiplying 9hx4 for example but not combine the letters. The questions that ask you to mix are much different to this. but if you want to add them 9h+8n^2 =17hn^2

A parabola has a focus of F(2, -0.5) and a directrix of y=-1.5 P(x,y) represents any point on the parabola, while D(x, -1.5) rep

prohojiy [21]

The sketch of the parabola is attached below

We have the focus $(a,b) = (2, -0.5)$
The point $P(x,y)$
The directrix, c at $y=-1.5$

The steps to find the equation of the parabola are as follows

Step 1
Find the distance between the focus and the point P using Pythagoras. We have two coordinates; $(2, -0.5)$ and $(x,y)$ .
We need the vertical and horizontal distances to find the hypotenuse (the diagram is shown in the second diagram).
The distance between the focus and point P is given by
$\sqrt{ (x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2} }$

Step 2
Find the distance between the point P to the directrix $c$ . It is a vertical distance between y and c, expressed as $y-c$

Step 3
The equation of parabola is then given as
$\sqrt{ (x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2} }$ = $y-c$
$(x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2}= (y-c)^{2}$ ⇒ substituting a, b and c
$(x-2)^{2}+ (y--0.5)^{2} = (y--1.5)^{2}$
$(x-2)^{2}+ (y+0.5)^{2}= (y+1.5)^{2}$ ⇒Rearranging and making $y$ the subject gives

$y= \frac{ x^{2} }{2} -2x+1$
