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

Answer:

Find the area by multiplying the base by the height. From the problem, the length (base) of the rectangle is 5 units. The height of the rectangle is

3\frac{1}{2}

inches. Multiply to find the area.

5 \times  3 \frac{1}{2}  = 17 \frac{1}{2}

The area of the rectangle is 17 1/2 units squared. The answer you provided is correct!

22. A storage container is shaped like a rectangular prism. The volume of the container is1,360 cubic feet. The area of the base
Dovator [93]

The volume of the rectangular prism is

V=B\times H

Where:

B is the base area

H is the height

Since the base area is 160 feet^2

Since the volume is 1360 feet^3

Substitute them in the rule above

\begin{gathered} 1360=160\times H \\ 1360=160H \end{gathered}

Divide both sides by 160 to find H

\begin{gathered} \frac{1360}{160}=\frac{160H}{160} \\ 8.5=H \end{gathered}

The height of the container is 8.5 feet
