Find the coordinates of the focus and equation of the directrix for the parabola given by y2 = −4x. The general formula for this parabola is y2 = 4px. Therefore, the value of p is . The coordinates of the focus are . The equation of the directrix is .

Is there a direction u in which the rate of change of f(x, y)equals=x squared minus 3 xy plus 4 y squaredx2−3xy+4y2 at p(1,2) equals 14? give reasons for your answer. choose the correct answer below. a. no. the given rate of change is smaller than the minimum rate of change. b. no. the given rate of change is larger than the maximum rate of change. c. yes. the given rate of change is larger than the minimum rate of change and smaller than the maximum rate of change.
