Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y=x²+7

vertex(0,7)

the length of latus rectum in a parabola equal to four times the focal length :

y=x²+7

focus X=-b/2a=0

focus Y=c- (b²-1)/4a=7+1/4=29/4

focus (0 , 29/4)

latus rectum is 29/4

(x-h)^2 = 4p (y-k) 4p is the length of the latus rectum with vertex(0,7)

(0-0)²=4p(29/4-7)

0=29p-28p=1p

the length of the latus rectum is 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The short answer is that <em>the length of the latus rectum is the reciprocal of the magnitude of the leading coefficient</em>.

In y = x^2 +7, the leading coefficient is 1.

latus rectum = 1/|1| = 1

i'm guessing this is asking what percentage it went up by? if so it went up by 190.47 percent. ***400,000 / 210,000 = 1.9047619***

Find the area of the figure. PLEASE HELP I NEED IT URGENT PLEASE

Answer:

Area = Area of bigger triangle - Area of small triangle

${ \rm{area = ( \frac{1}{2} \times b_{b} \times h_{b}) - ( \frac{1}{2} \times b_{s} \times h _{s} )}} \\ \\ { \tt{area = ( \frac{1}{2} \times 18 \times 7) - ( \frac{1}{2} \times (18 - 13) \times 7) }} \\ \\ { \tt{area = (9 \times 7) - (2.5 \times 7)}} \\ \\ { \underline{ \tt{ \: \: area = 45.5 \: \: sq \: units \: \: }}}$

Area = area of square + area of two right angled triangles

${ \tt{area = (s \times s) + 2( \frac{1}{2} \times b \times h)}} \\ \\ { \tt{area = (6 \times 10) + (3 \times 5)}} \\ \\ { \underline{ \tt{ \: \: area = 75 \: \: {m}^{2} \: \: }}}$
