QuestionFind the formula for the bottom half of the parabola defined by x+(y9)2=0x + (y - 9)^{2} = 0. What is y=y=?

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The given equation is a parabola x+(y9)=0x+(y-9)^{}=0 . We are looking for the function that represents the bottom half of this parabola.

STEP 2

The given equation is in the form of a parabola x=(yk)2+hx = -(y-k)^2 + h, where (h,k)(h,k) is the vertex of the parabola. In this case, the vertex is at (0,9)(0,9).

STEP 3

We can rewrite the given equation in terms of yy to get the function.
y=9xy =9 - \sqrt{-x}

STEP 4

However, this is the equation for the entire parabola. Since we only want the bottom half, we need to restrict the domain of the function. The bottom half of the parabola is when yy is less than or equal to the yy-coordinate of the vertex, which is 99.

STEP 5

Therefore, the function representing the bottom half of the parabola isy=9x,for y9y =9 - \sqrt{-x}, \quad \text{for } y \leq9
