Part 4: Identify the vertex, focus and directrix of each. Then sketch the graph.

1. y = x^2 - 12x + 34

2. x = y^2 + 2y - 1

1) Vertex: (6, -2)    Focus: (6, -7/4)     Directrix: y = -9/4

              2) Vertex: (-2, -1)   Focus: (-7/4, -1)     Directrix: x = -9/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite the equation in vertex format y = a(x - h)² + k   or   x = a(y - k)² + h by completing the square. Divide the b-value by 2 and square it - add that value to both sides of the equation.

1) y = x² - 12x + 34

2) x = y² + 2y - 1

in mathematics, a function is a relationship between two variables such that the value of one of the variables, called the dependent variable, is determined by the value of the other variable, called the independent variable. there is a specific term we use to describe the set of independent variables of a function.
