y = \frac{1}{24}(x+1)^2 - 3\\\\y+3 =\frac{1}{24}(x+1)^2\ \ / *24\\\\ (x+1)^2 = 24(y+3)

This   is  an  equation  of  a  parabola  that  opens  upwards.

Its \ standard \ form: \\(x-h)^2=4p(y-k)\\ (h,k)=(x,y) \ coordinates \ of \ the \ vertex\\\ (h,k)=(-1,-3) \\\\axis \ of \ symmetry: \ x= -1\\ \\4p=24\ \ /:4\\p=6

focus:(h,k+p)=(-1,-3+6)=(-1,3) \\ \\directrix: \ y=k-p=-3-6=-9

A quadrilateral has vertices at $(0,1)$, $(3,4)$, $(4,3)$ and $(3,0)$. Its perimeter can be expressed in the form $a\sqrt2+b\sqr
seraphim [82]

Answer:

a + b = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Quadrilateral;

Vertices of (0,1), (3,4) (4,3) and (3,0)

Perimeter = a\sqrt{2} + b\sqrt{10}

Required

a + b

Let the vertices be represented with A,B,C,D such as

A = (0,1); B = (3,4); C = (4,3) and D = (3,0)

To calculate the actual perimeter, we need to first calculate the distance between the points;

Such that:

AB represents distance between point A and B

BC represents distance between point B and C

CD represents distance between point C and D

DA represents distance between point D and A

Calculating AB

Here, we consider A = (0,1); B = (3,4);

Distance is calculated as;

Distance = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}

(x_1,y_1) = A(0,1)

(x_2,y_2) = B(3,4)

Substitute these values in the formula above

Distance = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}

AB = \sqrt{(0 - 3)^2 + (1 - 4)^2}

AB = \sqrt{( - 3)^2 + (-3)^2}

AB = \sqrt{9+ 9}

AB = \sqrt{18}

AB = \sqrt{9*2}

AB = \sqrt{9}*\sqrt{2}

AB = 3\sqrt{2}

Calculating BC

Here, we consider B = (3,4); C = (4,3)

Here,

(x_1,y_1) = B (3,4)

(x_2,y_2) = C(4,3)

Substitute these values in the formula above

Distance = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}

BC = \sqrt{(3 - 4)^2 + (4 - 3)^2}

BC = \sqrt{(-1)^2 + (1)^2}

BC = \sqrt{1 + 1}

BC = \sqrt{2}

Calculating CD

Here, we consider C = (4,3); D = (3,0)

Here,

(x_1,y_1) = C(4,3)

(x_2,y_2) = D (3,0)

Substitute these values in the formula above

Distance = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}

CD = \sqrt{(4 - 3)^2 + (3 - 0)^2}

CD = \sqrt{(1)^2 + (3)^2}

CD = \sqrt{1 + 9}

CD = \sqrt{10}

Lastly;

Calculating DA

Here, we consider C = (4,3); D = (3,0)

Here,

(x_1,y_1) = D (3,0)

(x_2,y_2) = A (0,1)

Substitute these values in the formula above

Distance = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}

DA = \sqrt{(3 - 0)^2 + (0 - 1)^2}

DA = \sqrt{(3)^2 + (- 1)^2}

DA = \sqrt{9 +  1}

DA = \sqrt{10}

The addition of the values of distances AB, BC, CD and DA gives the perimeter of the quadrilateral

Perimeter = 3\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{10} + \sqrt{10}

Perimeter = 4\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{10}

Recall that

Perimeter = a\sqrt{2} + b\sqrt{10}

This implies that

a\sqrt{2} + b\sqrt{10} = 4\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{10}

By comparison

a\sqrt{2} = 4\sqrt{2}

Divide both sides by \sqrt{2}

a = 4

By comparison

b\sqrt{10} = 2\sqrt{10}

Divide both sides by \sqrt{10}

b = 2

Hence,

a + b = 2 + 10

a + b = 12

A teacher is cutting pieces of tape for the marshmallow challenge.The roll of tape is 16.8 meters long and each piece measures 1
Zanzabum

Given:

Total length of tape in roll = 16.8 meters

Length of each piece = 1.125 meters

Number of pieces = 8

To find:

The remaining tape.

Solution:

We have,

Length of 1 piece = 1.125 meters

Length of 8 piece = 8 × 1.125 meters

                              = 9 meters

Total length of tape in roll = 16.8 meters

Remaining tape = Total length of tape in roll - Length of 8 piece

                           = 16.8 - 9 meters

                           = 7.8 meters

Therefore, the length of remaining tape is 7.8 meters.
