@Kevin

OpenStudy (brainzonly):

ill help

OpenStudy (kevin):

OpenStudy (brainzonly):

@Kevin go delete the answer on "MEDAL" milo123 is confused LOL

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

OpenStudy (brainzonly):

??????? @iwanttogotostanford whats the Q????

OpenStudy (brainzonly):

dang google has 1 hit!!! LOL

OpenStudy (kevin):

I will help, but pls my answer me, this is question about matrix or what?

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

Find the standard form of the equation of the parabola with a focus at (0, -9) and a directrix y = 9. y = negative one divided by ninex2 y2 = -36x y = negative one divided by thirty sixx2 y2 = -9x

OpenStudy (brainzonly):

anyway to find the equation of a parabola, substitute the vertex coordinates for h and k, substitute the coordinates of another point on the parabola for x and y and then solve for a. The equations will differ depending on whether the parabola is vertical or horizontal.

OpenStudy (brainzonly):

that's all I know LOL

OpenStudy (kevin):

Do you have options? :)

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

options: y = negative one divided by ninex^2 y^2 = -36x y = negative one divided by thirty sixx^2 y^2 = -9x

OpenStudy (brainzonly):

its d the focus is always next to x

OpenStudy (kevin):

I still don't understand directrix means XD

OpenStudy (kevin):

Sorry, I'm sleepy. Maybe I can figure this out tomorrow. Hope there will be somebody answer you question
