Mathematics

Delvig [45]3 years ago

We know that
the equation of the parabola is of the form
y=ax²+bx+c

in this problem
y=−1/4x²<span>−x+3
where
a=-1/4
b=-1
c=3

</span><span> the coordinates of the focus are
</span>
(-b/2a,(1-D)/4a)
where
D is the discriminant b²-4ac
D=(-1)²-4*(-1/4)*3-----> D=1+3---> D=4
therefore
x coordinate of the focus
-b/2a----> 1/[2*(-1/4)]----> -2

y coordinate of the focus
(1-D)/4a------> (1-4)/(-4/4)---> 3

the coordinates of the focus are
(-2,3)

Write all ratios in is There are three children in the Skosana family. Each week the eldest earns R270, the middle child earns R
geniusboy [140]

From the amounts that are given, the ratio of the earnings will be 3:2:1.

<h3>How to calculate ratio</h3>

From the information, the eldest earns R270, the middle child earns R180 and the youngest earns R90.

Therefore, the common factor to the numbers will be 90. Therefore, the ratio will be:

270/90 = 3

180/90 = 2

90/90 = 1

The ratio is 3:2:1.
