Answer: x² = 4y -8

Step-by-step explanation: The equation of the set of points which are equidistant from a point and from a line is a parabola. In this case:

F ( 0 , 2 ) The parabola open upwards, so is of the form

p = 1

( x - h )² = 4*p* ( y - 2)

x² = 4 * ( y - 2 )

x² = 4y -8

Bo and Brica are yoga instructors. Between the both of them, they teach 46 yoga classes each week. If Brica teaches 11 fewer tha

PtichkaEL [24]

Bo teaches 19 classes and Brica teaches 27 classes per week

Step-by-step explanation:

Bo and Brica are yoga instructors

They teach 46 yoga classes each week
Brica teaches 11 fewer than twice as many as Bo

We need to find how many classes each instructor teaches per week

Assume that Bo teaches x classes per week

∵ Bo teaches x classes per week

∵ Brica teaches 11 fewer than twice as many as Bo

∵ Twice means times 2 and 11 fewer is - 11

- Multiply x by 2 and subtract 11 from the product

∴ Brica teaches 2x - 11 classes per week

∵ They teach 46 classes per week

- Add the number of their classes and equate the sum by 46

∴ x + 2x - 11 = 46

- Add the like terms in the left hand side

∴ 3x - 11 = 46

- Add 11 to both sides

∴ 3x = 57

- Divide both sides by 3

∴ x = 19

∵ Bo teaches x classes per week

∴ Bo teaches 19 classes per week

∵ Brica teaches 2x - 11 classes per week

∴ Brica teaches 2(19) - 11 = 27 classes per week

Bo teaches 19 classes and Brica teaches 27 classes per week

The sum of four consecutive even integers is 256. what are the numbers?

Naily [24]

Answer:

61 , 63 , 65 , 67

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the least even number be denoted by x. The sum of the four consecutive even numbers would be:

(x) + (x + 2) + (x + 4) (x + 6) = 256

First, simplify. Combine all like terms:

x + x + x + x + 2 + 4 + 6 = 256

4x + 12 = 256

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:

4x + 12 (-12) = 256 (-12)

4x = 256 - 12

4x = 144

Next, divide 4 from both sides of the equation:

(4x)/4 = (144)/4

x = 144/4

x = 61

61 is your first number. Find the next 3 consecutive numbers:

x = 61

x + 2 = 63

x + 4 = 65

x + 6 = 67

Check:

61 + 63 + 65 + 67 = 256

256 = 256

The length of a rectangle is three inches more than the width. the area of the rectangle is 180 inches. find the width of the re

ch4aika [34]

We have a rectangle with length L that is 3 inches more than the width W. Then we can write this as:

$L=W+3$

The area of the rectangle is 180 square inches.

We have to find the width W.

As the area is equal to the product of the length and the width, we can write this equation and solve for W as:

$\begin{gathered} A=180 \\ L\cdot W=180 \\ (W+3)\cdot W=180 \\ W^2+3W=180 \\ W^2+3W-180=0 \end{gathered}$

We have a quadratic equation. The roots of this equation will be the mathematical solutions.

We can find the roots using the quadratic formula:

$\begin{gathered} W=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ W=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt[]{3^2-4\cdot1\cdot(-180)}}{2\cdot1} \\ W=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt[]{9+720}}{2} \\ W=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt[]{729}}{2} \\ W=\frac{-3\pm27}{2} \\ W_1=\frac{-3-27}{2}=-\frac{30}{2}=-15 \\ W_2=\frac{-3+27}{2}=\frac{24}{2}=12 \end{gathered}$

The solutions are W = -15 and W = 12.

The first one is not valid, as W has to be greater than 0.

Then, the solution to our problem is W = 12 in.

Answer: the width is W = 12 inches.
