Answer:

the third option

Step-by-step explanation:

Our equation is

{y}^{2}  = 36(x - 10)

Equation of a vertical parabola is

( {y - k)}^{2}  = 4p(x  - h)

where (h,k) is the center

The focus is

(h+p, k)

Equation of directrix is

x= h-p,

Here the center is (10,0)

Next, we factor out 4 in the original equation

4(9)

So we have

{y}^{2}  = 4(9)(x - 10)

So our p=9,

So our focus is

(10+9,0) or (19,0)

The third option is the answer

You have just bought a new television and it has an aspect ratio of 16:9. The screen on the television is 65 inches. What is the
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The TV to have a 16:9 ratio and have a diagonal of 65 inches must have a length & width whose squares add to 4,225 (65 squared) and whose ratio length and width simplifies to 16/9.

B is not an option because 16^2+9^2\neq 65^2.

C is not an option because \frac{42.59}{21.22}\neq \frac{16}{9} which is 1.777777777778 as a decimal.

D fails for the same reason as C.

Therefore A is the solution because \frac{56.65}{31.86}=\frac{16}{9} and 65.65^2+31.86^2 = 65^2
