Answer: (1.5, 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The shape of his satellite can be modeled by where x and y are modeled in inches.
Now,the given equation is a equation of parabola.
Here, coefficient of x is positive, hence the parabola opens rightwards.
On comparing this equation with standard equation , we get
In standard equation, coordinates of focus=(m,0)
Thus for given equation coordinates of focus=(1.5,0)
The area formula of a circle is × π.
With that being said, we can solve both problems!
Starting with part A:
-The radius we know is 21cm. From there, we can substitute in our formula with the new value.
x π
From there, we can square our radius:
(21 x 21) x π
(441) x π
And finally, we can multiply by pi to get our answer.
(441) x π
1385.44236023
Which rounded to the nearest tenth is 1385.4. Therefore, the area of the porthole is 1385.4 centimetres.
The second part can be followed with the same process, hopefully you understand the concept enough to where you're comfortable solving problems like this on your own. Feel free to reach out if you have any further trouble!
