<span>To solve it, use the quadratic formula with (½)(-32.174 ft/s²) = a, 38 ft/s = b, and 30 ft = c. There are two answers; the only positive answer is t = 2.986 s </span>
Using this equation, f(3) = 23.
In order to find the value of f(3), we need to take the f(x) equation and put 3 everywhere we see x. Then we follow the order of operations to solve. So, let's start with the original.
f(x) = 2x^2 + 5sqrt(x - 2)
Now place 3 in for each x.
f(3) = 2(3)^2 + 5sqrt(3 - 2)
Now square the 3.
f(3) = 2(9) + 5 sqrt(3 - 2)
Do the subtraction inside of the parenthesis.
f(3) = 2(9) + 5sqrt(1)
Take the square root
f(3) = 2(9) + 5(1)
Multiply.
f(3) = 18 + 5
And add.
f(3) = 23
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The directrix is a vertical line, so the parabola is horizontal. The focus lies to the left of the directrix, so the parabola opens to the left.
For a left-opening parabola:
x = a(y-k)²+h,
a < 0,
vertex (h,k)
focal length p = 1/|4a|
focus (h-p, k)
directrix: x=h+p
Apply your data
focus (1,-4)
directrix x=2
vertex (1.5,-4).
focal length p = 0.5
a = -1/|4p| = -½
x = -½(y-2)²+ ½
1st: add 5 to each side
2nd: divide by 2 on each side
The midpoint of the segment:
(4, 7)
x=4 y= -7
