Answer:
The answer for this question is 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have a vertical directrix, the equation of the parabola is
Where p is the distance from the vertex to the directrix.
or the distance from the vertex to the focus.
Since we have a sideways parabola, let use the point for the directrix is (-6,0). So let find the midpoint of (-6,0) and (6,0). That would be our vertex.
So our vertex is (0,0).
So our equation become
The distance from the focus and directrix is 6.
So p=6.
So p is 6.
Since p is 6,
Think of this as a proportion: 2.4 is to 100, as 34 is to L ("L" for "Long piece.")
Cross multiply to get 2.4 L = 3400, then divide both sides by 2.4 to be left with
L = 3400/2.4, so
L = 1416.666...
So the longer piece of wood is 1,416.66... inches long.
Hope this helps!!:)
we know that
if the lines a and b are parallel lines cut by transversal f
then
--------> by alternate exterior angles
solve for x
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
the value of x is 
First, we can subtract the discount from the original price. Divide the discount (42%) over 100.
42/100 = 0.42
Next, we need to multiply. It's basically asking what 42% of 20 is.
0.42 × $20 = $8.40
Now, we know that we will have $8.40 on the CD because of the discount. We can subtract the saved amount from the original amount to get the price.
$20 - $8.40 = $11.60
You will pay $11.60 for the CD without taxes.
----------
Now to add the taxes.... To do this, do the same first step we did when finding the discount price.
6/100 = 0.06
Multiply. Like I said, you can think of it as, '6% of 11.60'.
0.06 × 11.60 = $0.70
Last step is to ADD. Since taxes add more money onto the current price, we will have to add.
$11.60 + $0.70 = $12.30
---------
The total price of the CD will be: $12.30.
