directrix 2x^2-4x+9

directrix

2 x^{2} - 4 x + 9

y = \frac{55}{8}

Solution steps

Rewrite

y = 2 x^{2} - 4 x + 9

in the standard form

4 \cdot \frac{1}{8} (y - 7) = (x - 1)^{2}

(h, k) = (1, 7), p = \frac{1}{8}

Parabola is symmetric around the y-axis and so the directrix is a line parallel to the x-axis, a distance

- p

from the center

(1, 7)

y-coordinate

y = 7 - p

y = 7 - \frac{1}{8}

Refine

y = \frac{55}{8}

3 x^{2} - 31 x + 56 - (x - 8)

y = - 2.1 x^{2} + 410 x - 1340

y = x^{2} - 10000 x - 24000000

(x + 2)^{2} = 4 (2 - y)

y^{2} - 8 x - 4 y - 20 = 0
