What is the focus of the parabola? y=−1/4x^2−x+3

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)

If<br> R = (5+T)P/3<br> then what is p?
Illusion [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

R = (5+T)P/3

3R = (5+T)P

3R/ (5+T) = P

P =    \frac{3R}{(5+T) }

Shirley is going to have her home painted. Tim"s painting charges $250 plus $14 per hour. Colorful paints charges $22 per hour.
Advocard [28]

It would take greater than 31.25 hours for Tim's price to be better. So in terms of whole hours it would take at least 32 hours of work for Tim's price to be better.

Pleaseeeee help me!!!!! i’ll appreciate it so much!
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

∠Y = ∠P, so AY = AP

Perimeter = AY + AP + 13 = 43

AY + AP = 30

∠Y = ∠P, so AY = AP

AP = 30/2 = 15

The data set represents a progression of hourly temperature measurements.Use the regression equation to predict the temperature
zimovet [89]
I will attach google sheet that I used to find regression equation.
We can see that linear fit does work, but the polynomial fit is much better.
We can see that R squared for polynomial fit is higher than R squared for the linear fit. This tells us that polynomials fit approximates our dataset better.
This is the polynomial fit equation:
T(h)=20.2-3.6h-0.875h^2
I used h to denote hours. Our prediction of temperature for the sixth hour would be:
T(6)=20.2-3.6(6)-0.875(6)^2=-32.9
Here is a link to the spreadsheet  (<span>https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17awPz5U8Kr-ZnAAtastV-bnvoKG5zZyL3rRFC9JqVjM/edit?usp=sharing)</span>
