Problem 1

Focus: (5, 0)

Directrix:  y = -18

------------------

Explanation:

The given equation can be written as 4*9(y-(-9)) = (x-5)^2

Then compare this to the form 4p(y-k) = (x-h)^2

We see that p = 9. This is the focal distance. It is the distance from the vertex to the focus along the axis of symmetry. The vertex here is (h,k) = (5,-9)

We'll start at the vertex (5,-9) and move upward 9 units to get to (5,0) which is where the focus is situated. Why did we move up? Because the original equation can be written into the form y = a(x-h)^2 + k, and it turns out that a = 1/36 in this case, which is a positive value. When 'a' is positive, the focus is above the vertex (to allow the parabola to open upward)

The directrix is the horizontal line perpendicular to the axis of symmetry. We will start at (5,-9) and move 9 units down (opposite direction as before) to arrive at y = -18 as the directrix. Note how the point (5,-18) is on this horizontal line.

================================================

Problem 2

Focus:  (13,-3)

Directrix:  x = 3

------------------

Explanation:

We'll use a similar idea as in problem 1. However, this time the parabola opens to the right (rather than up) because we are squaring the y term this time.

20(x-8) = (y+3)^2 is the same as 4*5(x-8) = (y-(-3))^2

It is in the form 4p(x-h) = (y-k)^2

vertex = (h,k) = (8,-3)

focal length = p = 5

Start at the vertex and move 5 units to the right to arrive at (13,-3). This is the location of the focus.

Go back to the focus and move 5 units to the left to arrive at (3,-3). Then draw a vertical line through this point to generate the directrix line x = 3

Which expression gives the distance between the points
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

  D.  √((2 +4)² +(5 -8)²)

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance is found using the formula ...

  d = √((x1 -x2)² +(y1 -y2)²)

Selection D has this formula properly filled in with the values ...

  (x1, y1) = (2, 5)

  (x2, y2) = (-4, 8)

Cody wants to watch a new movie that is 3 hours long. He has watched 1/6 of the movie so far. What fraction of one hour did Cody
lesya692 [45]
What we know: 
1/6 = what Cody wathed
1 stands for the unit that cody has watched a move (minutes) 
6 = stands for the entire length of the movie (minutes)

Tharefore: If 6 stands for the entire length of the movie the movie is equal to 3 hours. However we are giving the unit in minutes not in hours, it would be:
3 x 60 = 3 stands for the ours 60 stands for minutes in an hour. That equals to 180.
This means that the 6 = 100% = 180min of the movie.

To figure what 1 stands for we need to divide 1/6. That will equal to 0.1(6). 0.1(6) x 180 (minutes of the entire movie) = 30 which would be the answer. Here is what you should have done using mathematical communication:

converting 3 h to minutes:

3 x 60 = 180 minutes
180 = the length of the entire movie
1/6 = 0.1(6)
0.1(6) x 180 = 30 
... 30 /180 is the fraction of minutes that Cody spend watching the movie
in other words Cody just spent 30 min watching the movie.
