The value of k is (A) 20/3.

<h3>What is a parabola?</h3>
  • A parabola is a planar curve that is mirror-symmetrical and roughly U-shaped in mathematics.
  • It fits various seemingly disparate mathematical descriptions, all of which can be shown to define the same curves.
  • A point and a line are two ways to describe a parabola.

To find the value of k:

  • y - b = c (x - a)²

Where (a, b) is the vertex and c is the constant.

  • (a, b) = (-4, k)
  • y - k = c (x - (- 4))²
  • y - k = c (x + 4)²

So,

  • x = 0, y = 12
  • 12 - k = 16c
  • k = 12 - 16c  ...... (1)

Then,

  • (-3, 7) = (x, y)
  • 7 - k = c (1)²
  • k = 7 - c  ...... (2)

Now,

  • 12 - 16c = 7 - c
  • 12 - 7 = 16c - c
  • 5 = 15c
  • c = 5/15 = 1/3

So, the value of k:

  • k = 12 - 16 (1/3) = 12 - 16/3 = 36-16/3 = 20/3

Therefore, the value of k is (A) 20/3.

Murljashka [212]
First question
Volume = height * radius*radius*3.14
5*3*3*3.14 = 141.3 in3

Second qustion
Violume = height * radius * radius * 3.14
28*8*8*3.14= 5626.88 cm3
So the answer is 1875.63 because it's the closest
