Answer:

  • 2.5 ft wide
  • 8 ft long

Step-by-step explanation:

The given relation between length and width can be used to write an expression for area. The equation setting that equal to the given area can be solved to find the shed dimensions.

__

<h3>Given relation</h3>

Let x represent the width of the shed. Then the length is (2x+3), and the area is ...

  A = LW

  20 = (2x+3)(x) . . . . . area of the shed

__

<h3>Solution</h3>

Completing the square gives ...

  2x² +3x +1.125 = 21.125 . . . . . . add 2(9/16) to both sides

  2(x +0.75)² = 21.125 . . . . . . . write as a square

  x +0.75 = √10.5625 . . . . . divide by 2, take the square root

  x = -0.75 +3.25 = 2.50 . . . . . subtract 0.75, keep the positive solution

The width of the shed is 2.5 feet; the length is 2(2.5)+3 = 8 feet.

Which is the equation of a parabola with a directrix at y = −3 and a focus at (5, 3)?
kramer

Answer:

y = 1/12 (x − 5)²

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this graphically without doing calculations.

The y component of the focus is y = 3.  Since this is above the directrix, we know this is an upward facing parabola, so it must have a positive coefficient.  That narrows the possible answers to A and C.

The x component of the focus is x = 5.  Since this is above the vertex, we know the x component of the vertex is also x = 5.

So the answer is A. y = 1/12 (x−5)².

But let's say this wasn't a multiple choice question and we needed to do calculations.  The equation of a parabola is:

y = 1/(4p) (x − h)² + k

where (h, k) is the vertex and p is the distance from the vertex to the focus.

The vertex is halfway between the focus and the directrix.  So p is half the difference of the y components:

p = (3 − (-3)) / 2

p = 3

k, the y component of the vertex, is the average:

k = (3 + (-3)) / 2

k = 0

And h, the x component of the vertex, is the same as the focus:

h = 5

So:

y = 1/(4×3) (x − 5)² + 0

y = 1/12 (x − 5)²

Can you help please?
harkovskaia [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

Mechanical advantage can be defined using distances:

Mechanical advantage = input distance / output distance

Or it can be defined using forces:

Mechanical advantage = output force / input force

Solving for the output force:

Output force = mechanical advantage × input force

Plugging in values:

Output force = 2.2 × 202 N

Output force = 444.4 N
