The banner attached to the archway will be at (1, 5) and (5.25, 3.938).
It's the locus of a moving point that keeps the same distance between a stationary point and a specified line. The focus is a non-movable point, while the directrix is a non-movable line.
The archway of the main entrance of a university is modeled by the quadratic equation
y = -x² + 6x ....1
The university is hanging a banner at the main entrance at an angle defined by the equation
4y = 21 − x ....2
Then the banner attached to the archway will be
From equations 1 and 2, we have
4(-x² + 6x) = 21 - x
-4x² + 24x = 21 - x
4x² - 25x + 21 = 0
4x² - 21x - 4x + 21 = 0
x(4x - 21) - 1(4x - 21) = 0
(4x - 21)(x - 1) = 0
x = 5.25, 1
Then the value of y will be
When x = 5.25, then we have
y = -(5.25)² + 6(5.25)
y = 3.938
When x = 1, then we have
y = -(1)² + 6(1)
y = 5
The banner attached to the archway will be at (1, 5) and (5.25, 3.938).
