Answer:

x=-\frac{5}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation,

y^2=5x-----(1)

Which is the equation of a parabola along x-axis,

From equation (1),

(y-0)^2=\frac{4}{4}\times 5(x-0)

(y-0)^2=4(\frac{5}{4})(x-0)-----(2)

We know that, the standard form of a parabola along x-axis is,

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

Where, the directrix is,

x = h-p

By comparing equation (2),

The directrix of the given parabola is,

x = 0 - \frac{5}{4}\implies x = -\frac{5}{4}

Gina has 1200 yards of fencing to enclose a rectangular area. Find the dimensions of the rectangle that maximize the enclosed ar
Alekssandra [29.7K]
We know the perimeter formula would be 1200=2x+2y. And the area will be A=x*y
We can to take the derivative of the area formula to find where it is a max but we must first substitute something in from the first formula so we only have one variable.

1200-2x=2y
600-x=y

A=(x)*(600-x)
A=600x-x^2

Now we take the derivative:
A'=600-2x (set equal to 0 and solve)
0=600-2x
2x=600
x=300 

Then when we plug this into the perimeter formula, we can solve for y
1200=2x+2y
1200=2(300)+2y
1200=600+2y
600=2y
y=300

So both the length and width are 300 yards, and the area would be 90,000 square yards

Hope this helps

I need help with finding out what the answer is 6=-w/8
tatyana61 [14]

6 = -w/8

  • Multiply both sides by 8.

48 = -w

  • Divide both sides by -1.

w = -48 is your answer.
