Find the vertex, focus, directrix, and focal width of the parabola. (5 points) negative 1 divided by 16 times x squared = y

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex: (0, 0); Focus: (0, -4); Directrix: y = 4; Focal width: 16 ⇒ answer (a)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise some facts about the parabola

- Standard form equation for a parabola of vertex at (0 , 0)

- If the equation is in the form  x² =  4py, then  

- The axis of symmetry is the y-axis,  x = 0  

- 4p  equal to the coefficient of y in the given equation to

 solve for  p

- If  p  >  0, the parabola opens up.

- If  p <  0, the parabola opens down.

- Use  p  to find the coordinates of the focus,  (0  ,  p)

- Use  p  to find equation of the directri ,   y= − p

- Use  p  to find the endpoints of the focal diameter,  (±2p  ,  p)

* Now lets solve the problem

- The vertex of the parabola is (0 , 0)

∵ -1/16x² = y ⇒ multiply each side by -16

∴ x² = -16y

∴ 4p = -16 ⇒ ÷ 4 tbe both sides

∴ p = -4

∵ The focus is (0 , p)

∴ The focus is (0 , -4)

∵ The directrix is y = -p

∴ The directrix is y = -(-4) = 4 ⇒ y = 4

∵ The endpoints of the focal diameter,  (±2p  ,  p)

∴ The focal width = 2p - (-2p) = 4p

∴ The focal width = 4 ×  I-4I = 16

* Vertex: (0, 0); Focus: (0, -4); Directrix: y = 4; Focal width: 16

the population of other specie of birds will decline or other specie of birds will find some alternate source of food to survive.

explanation:

according to the competitive exclusion principle, which is also known as gause's law, two specie living in the same niche and feeding on the same resource cannot co-exist stably.

as we have well studied the theory of natural selection which states that only those organisms survive which have better tendency to compete for food and adapt to the environmental conditions.

coming towards the question, what wi ll happen when one species outcompetes the other for the small fish , the other specie will not get enough food and will start to die or decline in population. eventually either other specie needs to find another alternative food source for itself or migrate at some other location where there is less competition otherwise it will just not exist anymore at that niche.

hope it !
