I will give brainliest to the right answer!! Find the vertex and the length of the latus rectum. x= 1/2 (y - 5)² + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

When the quadratic is written in vertex form:

  x = a(y -k)^2 +h

the vertex is (x, y) = (h, k), and the length of the latus rectum is 1/a.

For your given equation, ...

  x = (1/2)(y -5)^2 +7

you have a=1/2, k = 5, h = 7, so ...

  the vertex is (7, 5)

  the length of the latus rectum is 1/(1/2) = 2

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
