Answer:

10/8

Because you need to divide 10 laps by the amount of time it took, which is 8 minutes.

A parabola can be drawn given a focus of (-9, -7) and a directrix of x = 9. Write

Slav-nsk [51]

Check the picture below, so the parabola looks more or less like so, with a vertex at (0 , -7), let's recall the vertex is half-way between the focus point and the directrix.

so this horizontal parabola opens up to the left-hand-side, meaning that the "P" distance is a negative value.

$\textit{horizontal parabola vertex form with focus point distance} \\\\ 4p(x- h)=(y- k)^2 \qquad \begin{cases} \stackrel{vertex}{(h,k)}\qquad \stackrel{focus~point}{(h+p,k)}\qquad \stackrel{directrix}{x=h-p}\\\\ p=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\ \qquad \textit{ focus or directrix}\\\\ \stackrel{"p"~is~negative}{op ens~\supset}\qquad \stackrel{"p"~is~positive}{op ens~\subset} \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}$

$\begin{cases} h=0\\ k=-7\\ p=-9 \end{cases}\implies 4(-9)(x-0)~~ = ~~[y-(-7)]^2 \\\\\\ -36x=(y+7)^2\implies x=-\cfrac{1}{36}(y+7)^2$

If the circumference of a circle measures 12π cm, what is the area of the circle in terms of π?

Xelga [282]

If $C=2\pi r$ then $r=6$ and $A=\pi r^2=\boxed{36\pi}$ .

Hope this helps.

How many number are a units away from 0, if a>0?

NikAS [45]

The number of numbers which are a units away from 0 if a>0 is; 2 numbers.

<h3>Distance between numbers on the number line</h3>

by convention, the distance between two numbers on the number line is usually a positive number.

On this note, since the required numbers are a units away from zero, it follows that;

|a - 0| = a units

|0 - a| = a units.

On this note, only 2 numbers are a units away from zero according to the given condition.
