Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Please write this as y = (1/2)x^2 for greater clarity. (1/2) is the coefficient of x^2 here.

The applicable form for the equation of this quadratic is 4py = x^2.

Your y = (1/2)x^2 becomes 2y = x^2. Therefore, 4p = 2, or p = (1/2).

Thus, the focus is (0, 1/2) (just above the vertex, (0, 0) ), and the equation of the directrix is y = -1/2.

m5=75 degrees

m11=75 degrees

m16=65 degrees

To find 5, realize angles 5 and 8 equal 180, because they make up a straight line, line d.

180-105=75

To find 11, it is the same as finding 7. Just look at the similar sizes. Angle 7 is the same at angle 5, just turned around. There’s a term for this pair angles that I don’t remember now but it exists. Now, lines a and b are parallel, so their angles between lines that intersect both are the same too. This means, as angle 5 equals angle 7, angle 7 equals angle 11.

To find 16, we use a combination of the methods used in finding the previous angles.

180-115=65 degrees is angle 4

Angle 4=Angle 16

Knowing the two angles given and that lines a and b are parallel, you could find the measurements of every angle in each intersection if you wanted to.
