What is the vertex and p-value of this parabola?
1 answer:
Answer:
- vertex: (-7, 5)
- p = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertex is halfway between the focus and the directrix:
((-7, 7) +(-7, 3))/2 = (-14, 10)/2 = (-7, 5) . . . . vertex coordinates
The value of p is the distance from the focus to the vertex:
7 -5 = 2 = p
In vertex form, the equation of the parabola is ...
y = 1/(4p)(x -h)^2 +k . . . . . . vertex (h, k)
y = 1/8(x +7)^2 +5

The rule we use here is
If the font size is too small, then it says (a^b)/(a^c) = a^(b-c)
We subtract the exponents when dividing exponentials like this. The bases must be the same.
So this means the exponents 13 and 3 subtract to get 13-3 = 10
We either have an exponent of "13-3" or an exponent of "10" as an equivalent expression. The base stays at 2 the entire time.
