Write the equation of a parabola with a vertex at (5, 2) and a directrix y = 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

A parabola with vertex at (5, 2) and a directrix y = 1 is a vertical parabola that opens up.

The distance from the vertex to the directrix p=2-1=1 units.

The equation is given by:

where (h,k)=(5,2) is the vertex.

We substitute the values to get:

Or

(x3 + 6x2 + 2x - 6) • (x - 1)

step-by-step explanation:

polynomial long division :

3.2     polynomial long division

dividing :   x4+5x3-4x2-8x+6

                              ("dividend")

by         :     x-1     ("divisor")

dividend     x4   +   5x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * x3     x4   -   x3            

remainder         6x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 6x2         6x3   -   6x2        

remainder             2x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 2x1             2x2   -   2x    

remainder               -   6x   +   6

- divisor   * -6x0               -   6x   +   6

remainder                     0

quotient :   x3+6x2+2x-6   remainder:   0
