The boundary of the lawn in front of a building is represented by the parabola

y = (x^2) /16 + x - 2

And you have three questions which require to find the focus, the vertex and the directrix of the parabola.

Note that it is a regular parabola (its symmetry axis is paralell to the y-axis).

1) Focus:

It is a point on the symmetry axis => x = the x-component of the vertex) at a distance equal to the distance between the directrix and the vertex).

In a regular parabola, the y - coordinate of the focus is p units from the y-coordinate of the focus, and p is equal to 1/(4a), where a is the coefficient that appears in this form of the parabola's equation: y = a(x - h)^2 + k (this is called the vertex form)

Then we will rearrange the standard form, (x^2)/16 + x - 2 fo find the vertex form y = a(x-h)^2 + k

What we need is to complete a square. You can follow these steps.

1) Extract common factor 1/16 => (1/16) [ (x^2) + 16x - 32]

2) Add (and subtract) the square of the half value of the coefficent ot the term on x =>

16/2 = 8 => add and subtract 8^2 => (1/16) [ (x^2) + 16 x + 8^2 - 32 - 8^2]

3) The three first terms inside the square brackets are a perfect square trinomial: =>

(1/16) [ (x+8)^2 - 32 - 64] = (1/16) [ (x+8)^2  - 96] =>

(1/16) [(x+8)^2 ] - 96/16 =>

(1/16) (x +8)^2 -  6

Which is now in the form a(x - h)^2 + k,
where:

a = 1/16 , h = - 8, and k = -6

(h,k) is the vertex: h is the x-coordinate of the vertex, and k is the y-coordinate of the vertex.

=> a = 1/16 => p =1/4a = 16/4 = 4
 
y-componente of the focus = -6 + 4 = -2

x-component of the focus = h = - 8

=> focus = (-8, -2)

2) Vertex

We found it above, vertex = (h,k) = (-8,-6)


3) Directrix

It is the line y = p units below the vertex = > y = -6 - 4 = -10

y = -10

19 Which figure(s) below can have a triangle as a two-dimensional cross
Andrew [12]

The figures that can have a triangle as a two-dimensional cross section are (4) I, III, and IV, only

<h3>How to determine the figures?</h3>

The cross-section of three-dimensional figures are as a result of slicing the figure along its axis.

  • When the cube is sliced with its plane, it gives a triangle face
  • When a cone is sliced vertically, it gives a triangle face
  • One of the faces of a square pyramid is a triangle; so it has a triangle face

Hence, the figures that can have a triangle as a two-dimensional cross section are (4) I, III, and IV, only

-7q+12r=3q-4r <br> Write a formula for g(q) in terms of q.
PtichkaEL [24]

Formula in terms of q is: q=\frac{8r}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write the formula in terms of q of the equation: -7q+12r=3q-4r

We will solve the given equation to find the formula in terms of q

-7q+12r=3q-4r

Adding -3q on both sides

-7q+12r-3q=3q-4r-3q\\-10q+12r=-4r

Adding -12r on both sides

-10q+12r-12r=-4r-12r\\-10q=-16r

Divide both sides by -10

\frac{-10q}{-10}=\frac{-16r}{-10}\\q=\frac{8r}{5}

So, formula in terms of q is: q=\frac{8r}{5}
