Answer:

y²-12x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating the equation of a parabola is y² = 4ax

and x = a

To find the equation of the parabola with focus (3, 0) and directrix x = –3,

The point given (x,y) = (3,0) and x = -3

From the data given, it can be seen that a = -3 by simply comparing x = a with x = -3

Similarly, x = 3 from the given point.

Substituting the value of x = -3 in the formula for equation of a parabola gives;

y² = 4(-3)x

y²= -12x

y²-12x = 0

Answer:

x = \frac{1}{12} y²

Step-by-step explanation:

Any point (x, y ) on the parabola is equidistant from the focus and the directrix

Using the distance formula, then

\sqrt{(x-3)^2+(y-0)^2} = | x + 3 |

Squaring both sides

(x - 3)² + y² = (x + 3)² ← expanding both sides

x² - 6x + 9 + y² = x² + 6x + 9 ← subtract x² + 6x + 9 from both sides

- 12x + y² = 0 ( subtract y² from both sides )

- 12x = - y² ( divide both sides by - 12 )

x = \frac{1}{12} y²

If you take 5 quizzes and get scores of 95%, 95%, 80%, 85%, and 75%, how would you find your mean quiz score?
avanturin [10]

Answer:

The answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, to find the mean of some scores, you must add all the scores together, then you must divide by the number of scores you added. In this case, you would divide by four, because you had four numbers you added to gether.

Find the length of the leg x. Enter the exact value, not a decimal approximation.
kherson [118]
Answer:
x = 2√13.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagoras theorem:
14^2 = x^2 + 12^2
x^2 = 14^2 - 12^2
x^2 = (14 + 12)(14 - 12) = 52
x = √52
x = √4*√13
x = 2√13.
