Answer:

The answer to your question is: Yes a parabola can be drawn if we know the focus and the directrix.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can say that it is a vertical parabola that opens downwards.

We conclude that if we graph both the focus and the directrix. Also if we continue the process we can find the vertex (-4, -7) and p = 3.

#2 is the one I need help with

Step-by-step explanation:

By arc sum Postulate of a circle:

2 x + 3x + 4x = 360°

9x = 360°

x = 360°/9

x = 40°

3x = 3* 40° = 120°

By inscribed angle theorem:

$m\angle 1= \frac {1}{2} \times 3x\\\\\therefore m\angle 1= \frac {1}{2} \times 120°\\\\\huge \red {\boxed {\therefore m\angle 1= 60°}}$

By tangent secant theorem:

$m\angle 2 = \frac {1}{2} \times 3x\\\\\therefore m\angle 2 = \frac {1}{2} \times 120°\\\\\huge \purple {\boxed {\therefore m\angle 2 = 60°}}$

Since, measure of central angle is equal to the measure of its corresponding minor arc.

$m\angle 3 = 3x\\\\\huge \pink {\boxed {\therefore m\angle 3 = 120°}}$

By angle sum Postulate of a triangle:

$m\angle 3 + 2 m\angle 4 = 180°\\\\120° + 2 m\angle 4 = 180° \\\\2 m\angle 4 = 180°- 120° \\\\2 m\angle 4 = 60° \\\\m\angle 4 = \frac {60°}{2} \\\\\huge \orange {\boxed {m\angle 4 =30°}}$

1/8 multiplied by 4 2/3

Anna35 [415]

First you Change the mixed number to an improper fraction (14/3) then you simplify (1/4 X 7/3) and then you multiply 1/4 X 7/3 = 7/12 :)

There are 6 sixth graders , 7 seventh graders , and 8 eight graders entered in a contest.

fgiga [73]

Answer:

See below ~

Step-by-step explanation:

P (6th grader)

No. of 6th graders / Total students
6 / 6 + 7 + 8
6/21
2/7

P (6th grader after)

No. of 6th graders - 1 / Total students - 1
6 - 1 / 21 - 1
5/20
1/4

Question 1 : P (Both 6th graders)

P = P (6th grader) × P (6th grader after)
P = 2/7 x 1/4 = 2/28 = 1/14

Question 2 : P' (Both 6th graders)

P' = 1 - P
P' = 1 - 1/14
P' = 13/14

Witch is greater 4 cups or 2 quarts

2 quarts because 4 cups only goes into 1 quart and 2 quarts is a greater number then 1 so 2 quarts
