6=1/2h where 6 is the total hight, 1/2 is the rate of decrease, and h is the amount of hours the candle is burned.

Answer: y=6-0.5x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  : The initial height of candle = 6 inches

Amount of candle burn each hour = one half an inch per hour.

=\dfrac{1}{2}\text{ inch per hour}

Now , the height of candle = ( initial height ) -( Rate of burning) (Numb er of hours)

Let y be the height of the candle after x hours.

Then, the equation to represent the situation will be :

y=6-\dfrac{1}{2}x\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=6-0.5x

Please help!! law of sines and cosines related
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

as below

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the height of the pole recall the relationship of sin cos and tan to the triangle with this helpful mnemonic   SOH CAH TOA

Sin = Opp / Hyp

Cos = Adj / Hyp

Tan = Opp / Adj

we will need to solve two triangles and subtract  them.

one is the 15° one of the slope of the road and the other is the 57° one that is the angle of the sun. sooooo,

lets solve the 15° one first.  We are told that the adj side is 75'

since we know the angle and the adj side and we want to find the Opp side let's use Tan b/c it has all of those in it :)  

Tan(15) = Opp / 75

75*Tan(15) = Opp   ( I'll put my calculator to work for this )

20.096 = Opp

that's the height of the road to the bottom of the flag pole along that flag pole axis into the ground  

next lets solve the 57°  triangle in the exact same way

Tan(57) =Opp / 75

75*Tan(57) = Opp

115.4898 = Opp

the tall triangle is the one that goes all the way into the ground,  the small one is the one that is under the ground

so subtract the small one from the big one to find the height of the flag pole above the ground

115.4898-20.096 = 95.3938

so the flag pole is about 95.4 feet tall

:o that's pretty tall :

What equation represents a parabola with a focus of (0,4) and a directrix of y=2
scZoUnD [109]
We know that

Any point <span>(x,y)</span> on the parabola is equidistant from the focus and the directrix

Therefore,

focus (0,4) and directrix of y=2

<span>√[<span>(x−0)</span></span>²+(y−4)²]=y−(2)

<span>√[x</span>²+(y-4)²]=y-2

x²+(y-4)²=(y-2)²

x²+y²-8y+16=y²-4y+4

x²=4y-12-----> 4y=x²+12----->y= (x²/4)+3


the answer is

y= (x²/4)+3
