Refer to the diagram shown below. It shows a vertical cross-section of the paraboloid through its axis of symmetry.

Let the vertex of the parabola be at the origin. Then its equation is of the form
y = bx²

Because the parabola passes through (18,8), therefore
8 = b(18²)
b = 0.02469
The parabola is y = 0.02469x².

The receiver should be placed at the focal point of the paraboloid for optimal reception.
The y-coordinate of the focus is
a = 1/(4b) = 1/0.098765 = 10.125 in

Answer: The receiver is located at 10.125 inches from the vertex.

What does the f(n - 1) represent?
leonid [27]

I'm assuming that you are talking about sequences <3

In the context of a recursive formula where we have "n-1" in sub-index of "a", you can think of "a" as the previous term in the sequence. In the context of an explicit formula like "-5+2(n-1)" "n-1" represents how many times we need to add 2 to the first term to get the nth term.

Dw if you don't understand, sequences and functions isn't an easy topic

PLEASE HELP ME RN I WILL MARK THE BEST ANSWERS BRAINLEAST AND MARK 5 ANSWER THE ONES U KNOW NOOOO EXPLAINTION NEEDED
Novosadov [1.4K]

For the first question, the answer is 25/14.

Because 14x = 25y    Which means x must equal more than y. And 25/14 is the only answer like this.

For the second question, the answer is 30 x 18.

30/5 = 6     18/3 = 6      18 + 18 + 30 + 30 = 96

So, both the perimeter and the ratio is correct with this answer.

For the third question, the first answer is correct.

x < -4    and only a negative number can be less than another negative. Also, the negative must have a higher value to be less than another negative.

For the last question, the last answer is correct. no explanation for this one, it would take too long ;)
