A parabola has vertex (5, 4) and directrix 3x + y - 29 = 0. If its equation is written as x² + a y² + b xy + c x + d y + k = 0, find a + b + c + d + k.

  1. -575
  2. 575
  3. 576
  4. -576

Correct answer: -575

Solution

Locating the focus from the vertex and directrix and applying the focus-directrix definition yields a parabola whose coefficients sum (a+b+c+d+k) to -575.
