Derive the equation of the parabola with a focus at (2, −1) and a directrix of y = −one half.

f(x) = −(x + 2)2 − three fourths

f(x) = (x + 2)2 + three fourths

f(x) = −(x − 2)2 + three fourths

f(x) = −(x − 2)2 − three fourths

step-by-step explanation:

first, we define the variables:

x: number of years after 1950

f (x): amount of vinyl sold.

then, with the variables defined, we have:

68594 vinyl records were sold in 1958 > f (8) = 68594

91299 vinyl records were sold in 1961 > f (11) = 91299

38720 vinyl records were sold in 1952 > f (2) = 38720

161743 vinyl records were sold in 1967 > f (17) = 161743
