I assume that the parabola in this particular problem is one whose axis of symmetry is parallel to the y axis. The formula we're going to use in this case is (x-h)2=4p(y-k). We know variables h and k from the vertex (1,20) but p is not given. However, we can solve for p by substituting values x and y in the formula with the y-intercept:

(0-1)^2=4p(16-20)

Solving for p, p=-1/16.

Going back to the formula, we can finally solve for the x-intercepts. Simply fill in variables p, h and k then set y to zero:

(x-1)^2=4(-1/16)(0-20)
(x-1)^2=5
x-1=(+-)sqrt(5)
x=(+-)sqrt(5)+1

Here, we have two values of x

x=sqrt(5)+1 and
x=-sqrt(5)+1

thus, the answers are: (sqrt(5)+1,0) and (-sqrt(5)+1,0).

What is the center of the circle that you can circumscribe about a triangle with vertices A(2, 6), B(2, 0), and C(10, 0)?
denis23 [38]
The three points A,B,C are all points on this circle.
Each point is then equal distance from the center, that distance being the radius of the circle.
Using the distance formula, we can find the center of the circle  (x,y):
d^2 = (x-x_0)^2 + (y-y_0)^2
Plugging in points A and B into distance formula, then setting them equal to each other gives:
(x-2)^2+(y-6)^2 = (x-2)^2 + y^2
Right away we can cancel out the x terms leaving:
(y-6)^2 = y^2
Expand Left side and Solve for y:
y^2 -12y +36 = y^2
y = 3
Plug in points B and C as before:
(x-2)^2 + y^2 = (x-10)^2 + y^2
Here we can cancel the y-terms.
Expand and solve for x:
x^2 -4x+4 = x^2 -20x+100
16x = 96
x = 6
Therefore the center of the circle is the point (6,3)

If the expression y2 – 16y + 64 is factored completely, which is one of its factors?
kari74 [83]

Answer:

b) y - 8 is one of the factor of the given expression

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>:-

Given expression y² - 16 y + 64

                       ⇒    y² - 8 y - 8 y + 64

                       ⇒  y ( y- 8) - 8 ( y - 8)

                        ⇒ (y-8)(y-8)

Therefore  (y -8) is one of the factor
