6. Find the focus for the parabola.
2x=(y+3)^2+14
Focus: (x, y) =

 Focus = (7.5, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The Vertex form of a horizontal parabola is: x = a(y - k)² + h   where

Rewrite the equation in Vertex form to identify a, h, & k:

2x = (y + 3)² + 14

       Vertex: (h, k) = (7, -3)

Find p and then find the focus:  Focus = (h + p, k)

Focus: (7 + , -3) = (7.5, -3)

(b) 240

step-by-step explanation:

first, we use the pythagorean formula using the given side lengths to find x. then we use x to find the side lengths. then we add the side lengths to find the perimeter.

pythagorean theorem formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(x - 20)^2 + (x - 40)^2 = x^2

x^2 - 40x + 400 + x^2 - 80x + 1600 = x^2

x^2 -120x + 2000 = 0

(x - 100)(x - 20) = 0

x - 100 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

x = 100 or x = 20

we see that the solution x = 20 must be discarded because it will give a negative side length and a side length of 0. the only valid solution is x = 100.

perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides

perimeter = x + x - 20 + x - 40

perimeter = 3x - 60

replace x with 100.

perimeter = 3(100) - 60

perimeter = 300 - 60

perimeter = 240
