1. The number a is 4/5 of the number b. What part of number a is number b?

1 answer:

7 0

Writing some equations out might help!

1) You know that a is 4/5 of b. This can be written as: $a = \frac{4}{5} b$ .
To find what b is equal to, multiply both sides by 5/4: $\frac{5}{4}a = b$ .
A is 5/4 B.

2) You know that a is 1/5 smaller than b. This can be written as: $a = b - \frac{1}{5}$ .
To find b, just add 1/5 to both sides: $a + \frac{1}{5} = b$ .
B is 1/5 bigger than a.

Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar(s). A parabola is given by the equation y = x2 + 4x + 4.

Anarel [89]

Graph x2 = 4y and state the vertex, focus, axis of symmetry, and directrix.This is the same graphing that I've done in the past: y = (1/4)x2. So I'll do the graph as usual: The vertex is obviously at the origin, but I need to "show" this "algebraically" by rearranging the given equation into the conics form:x2 = 4y Copyright © Elizabeth Stapel 2010-2011 All Rights Reserved
(x – 0)2 = 4(y – 0)This rearrangement "shows" that the vertex is at (h, k) = (0, 0). The axis of symmetry is the vertical line right through the vertex: x = 0. (I can always check my graph, if I'm not sure about this.) The focus is "p" units from the vertex. Since the focus is "inside" the parabola and since this is a "right side up" graph, the focus has to be above the vertex.From the conics form of the equation, shown above, I look at what's multiplied on the unsquaredpart and see that 4p = 4, so p = 1. Then the focus is one unit above the vertex, at (0, 1), and the directrix is the horizontal line y = –1, one unit below the vertex.vertex: (0, 0); focus: (0, 1); axis of symmetry: x = 0; directrix: y = –1Graph y2 + 10y + x + 25 = 0, and state the vertex, focus, axis of symmetry, and directrix.Since the y is squared in this equation, rather than the x, then this is a "sideways" parabola. To graph, I'll do my T-chart backwards, picking y-values first and then finding the corresponding x-values for x = –y2 – 10y – 25:To convert the equation into conics form and find the exact vertex, etc, I'll need to convert the equation to perfect-square form. In this case, the squared side is already a perfect square, so:y2 + 10y + 25 = –x 
(y + 5)2 = –1(x – 0)This tells me that 4p = –1, so p = –1/4. Since the parabola opens to the left, then the focus is 1/4 units to the left of the vertex. I can see from the equation above that the vertex is at (h, k) = (0, –5), so then the focus must be at (–1/4, –5). The parabola is sideways, so the axis of symmetry is, too. The directrix, being perpendicular to the axis of symmetry, is then vertical, and is 1/4 units to the right of the vertex. Putting this all together, I get:vertex: (0, –5); focus: (–1/4, –5); axis of symmetry: y = –5; directrix: x = 1/4Find the vertex and focus of y2 + 6y + 12x – 15 = 0The y part is squared, so this is a sideways parabola. I'll get the y stuff by itself on one side of the equation, and then complete the square to convert this to conics form.y2 + 6y – 15 = –12x 
y2 + 6y + 9 – 15 = –12x + 9 
(y + 3)2 – 15 = –12x + 9 
(y + 3)2 = –12x + 9 + 15 = –12x + 24 
(y + 3)2 = –12(x – 2) 
(y – (–3))2 = 4(–3)(x – 2)Then the vertex is at (h, k) = (2, –3) and the value of p is –3. Since y is squared and p is negative, then this is a sideways parabola that opens to the left. This puts the focus 3 units to the left of the vertex.vertex: (2, –3); focus: (–1, –3)

Drag each expression to show whether it can be used to find the volume, surface area, or neither.

Mumz [18]

Answer:

Volume = 12 *6 *8 , Surface area = 2 ( 12 *6 + 8 *12 + 6* 8 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Cuboid with length 12 , width 6 and height 8 units.

To find : Drag each expression to show whether it can be used to find the volume, surface area, or neither.

Solution : We have given Cuboid with

Length = 12 units ,

Width = 6 units

Height = 8 units.

Volume of cuboid = length * width * height .

Volume = 12 *6 *8.

Surface area = 2 ( l *w + h *+w *h)

Surface area = 2 ( 12 *6 + 8 *12 + 6* 8 ).

None = 12 +6 +8.

Therefore, Volume = 12 *6 *8 , Surface area = 2 ( 12 *6 + 8 *12 + 6* 8 ) .
