You can use the vertex form, y = a(x - h)^2 +k, to find the directrix.

The directrix is a fixed line associated with a parabola.

In this case, the directrix is x = -3

What is the vertex of the equation, y= -3x^2+2x-7?
Genrish500 [490]

A

Given a quadratic in standard form : y = ax² + bx + c ( a ≠ 0 ), then

The x-coordinate of the vertex is

x_{vertex} = - \frac{b}{2a}

y = - 3x² + 2x - 7 is in standard form

with a = - 3, b = 2 and c = - 7, hence

x_{vertex} = - \frac{2}{-6} = \frac{1}{3}

Substitute this value into the equation for y-coordinate

y = - 3 (\frac{1}{3})² + 2 ( \frac{1}{3}) - 7

  = - \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3} - \frac{21}{3} = - \frac{20}{3}

vertex = ( \frac{1}{3}, - \frac{20}{3}) → A

The width of a rectangle is the length minus 3 units. The area of the rectangle is 10 units. What is the width, in units, of the
solmaris [256]

Answer:

2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

because the only whole number factor pair to 10 is 2x5 and luckily, it turned out that 5-3=2, so there are no decimals or fractions. Yay!

I need help with this problem. Given: BC = 10 inches AC = √50 inches m∠CBD = 60° m∠CAD = 90° Calculate the exact area of the sha
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Area of the shaded region = 23.33 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a sector = \frac{\theta}{360}(\pi r^{2})

Where θ = Central angle subtended by an arc

r = radius of the circle

Area of the sector BCD = \frac{60}{360}(\pi) (10^{2})

                                       = 52.36 in²

Area of equilateral triangle BCD = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}(\text{Side})^2

                                                      = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}(10)^2

                                                      = 25\sqrt{3} in²

                                                      = 43.30 in²

Area of the shaded portion in ΔBCD = 52.36 - 43.3

                                                             = 9.06 in²

Area of sector CAD = \frac{90}{360}(\pi)(\sqrt{50})^2

                                 = 39.27 in²

Area of right triangle CAD = \frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{Height})

                                            = \frac{1}{2}(\text{AC})(\text{AD})

                                            = \frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{50})(\sqrt{50})

                                            = 25 in²

Area of the shaded part in the ΔACD = 39.27 - 25

                                                                         = 14.27 in²

Area of the shaded part of the figure = 9.06 + 14.27

                                                                = 23.33 in²

The Niagara Falls ferris wheel has a diameter of 48 meters, and one revolution takes 2.25 minutes to complete. Riders can see Ni
Yanka [14]

The time intervals when the riders could see Niagara falls are; 0.834 < t < 1.416 and (3.084, 3.666)

<h3>How to interpret Cycle Graphs?</h3>

From the diagram attached, we can say that;

Period = 2π/k

where;

k = 2π/2.25

k = 8π/9

Thus;

h(t) = -(48/2) cos (8π/9)t + ((48/2) + 0.5)

h(t) = -24cos (8π/9)t + 24.5

Riders can see Niagara falls if they are higher than 41 meters above the ground. Thus;

41 = -24cos (8π/9)t + 24.5

41 - 24.5 = -24cos (8π/9)t

16.5 = -24cos (8π/9)t

-0.6875 = cos (8π/9)t

cos⁻¹0.6875 = (8π/9)t

t = 0.834 min

Thus, time interval is between;

0.834 < t < (2.25 - 0.834)

⇒ 0.834 < t < 1.416 and

(2.25 + 0.834) < t < (2.25 + 1.416)

⇒ (3.084, 3.666)
