Is x+y+1=0 a tangent of both y^2=4x and x^2=4y parabolas?

Mathematics

Lubov Fominskaja [6]3 years ago

Answer:

  yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The line intersects each parabola in one point, so is tangent to both.

__

For the first parabola, the point of intersection is ...

  y^2 = 4(-y-1)

  y^2 +4y +4 = 0

  (y+2)^2 = 0

  y = -2 . . . . . . . . one solution only

  x = -(-2)-1 = 1

The point of intersection is (1, -2).

__

For the second parabola, the equation is the same, but with x and y interchanged:

  x^2 = 4(-x-1)

  (x +2)^2 = 0

  x = -2, y = 1 . . . . . one point of intersection only

___

If the line is not parallel to the axis of symmetry, it is tangent if there is only one point of intersection. Here the line x+y+1=0 is tangent to both y^2=4x and x^2=4y.

_____

Another way to consider this is to look at the two parabolas as mirror images of each other across the line y=x. The given line is perpendicular to that line of reflection, so if it is tangent to one parabola, it is tangent to both.

What is the scale factor (k) of the dilation if C is (-6,9) and C' is (-2,3)?
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the original coordinate as C (-6, 9) and new coordinates after dilation as C' (-2, 3), we can see that the value of the new coordinates has reduces by a factor. Let the factor be k

For the x coordinates:

C' = kC

x' = kx

-2 = k(-6)

-2 = -6k

Divide both sides by -6

k = -2/-6

k = 1/3

For the y-coordinates:

y' = ky

3 = 9k

Divide both sides by 9:

3/9 = 9k/9

1/3 = k

k = 1/3

Hence the scale factor of the dilation is 1/3

Paul Smith pays $50.00 a month for group health insurance. There is a $300 deductible. His medical bills for the last year were
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

$1,360

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the monthly payment of $50 and multiply it by 12 because there is 12 months in a year which is $600. Next subtract $2,600 by your deduction of $300 which is $2,300. Then multiply by 20% because the insurance pays 80% leaving you with 20%, you get $460. Add $460 and $300 because those are the amounts you paid and you get $760. Now add the $600 to the $760 because of the monthly payment. The total comes out to $1,360.
