A parabola and its directrix are shown on the graph. On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens upward. It has a vertex at (0, 0) and a directrix at y = negative 2. What are the coordinates of the focus of the parabola? (0,2) (0,–2) (2,0) (–2,0)

The focus of the parabola is at the point (0, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the focus of a parabola resides at the same distance from the parabola's vertex, as the distance from the parabola's vertex to the directrix, and on the side of the curve's concavity. In fact this is a nice geometrical property of the parabola and the way it can be constructed base of its definition: "All those points on the lane whose distance to the focus equal the distance to the directrix."

Then, the focus must be at a distance of two units from the vertex, (0,0), on in line with the parabola's axis of symmetry (x=0), and on the positive side of the y-axis (notice the directrix is on the negative side of the y-axis. So that puts the focus of this parabola at the point (0, 2)

answer:

your answer is: c. 196 7/8 in^3.

in if you ask questions, the points are taken from your total and given to the one who answered it..

so if i have 30 points and i ask a question for 5 points, then when someone asks a question i will lose 5 points and the answerer earns 5
