Raul is making a scale model of an airplane that has a wingspan of 44 feet. If Rauls scale model is 1/16 the size of the actual

airplane, what is the wingspan of his model?

44(16)=704
44 times 16=704

You would divide 44 by 16 so the wing span is 2.75 ft.

Suppose<br> cos(π/2−x) =3/5, cos x =4/5<br> find sin, tan, csc, sec, cot

Pani-rosa [81]

Cos (π/2 - x) = sin x = 3/5
tan x = sin x / cos x = 3/5 / 4/5 = 3/4
csc x = 1/sin x = 1 / 3/5 = 5/3
sec x = 1/cos x = 1 / 4/5 = 5/4
cot x = 1/tan x = 1 / 3/4 = 4/3.

A computer chip has dimensions of 8mm x 8mm. the scale drawing shows 4cm by 4cm. the answer is 1cm represents 2mm but I don't kn

Andru [333]

$Change\ all\ dimensions\ to\ the\ same\ unit. \\ \\ \\ \\ 4cm==\textgreater\ 400\ mm$ $Work\ out\ the\ Scale\ factor, \\ \\ \\ \\ Scale\ factor= { \frac{Scaled\ dimension\ (same\ side)}{Actual\ dimension\ (same\ side)} } \\ \\ = { \frac{400}{8} } \\ \\ = 50$
$1\ mm\ on\ actual= 50\ mm\ on\ scaled. \\ \\ 2\ mm\ represents\ 1\ cm\ on\ scaled.$

What is the equation of the parabola in vertex form with vertex (2,-4) and directrix y=-6

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

$y=\dfrac{1}{8}(x-2)^2-4$

Step-by-step explanation:

The directrix y=-6 is parallel to the x axes, so parabola has equation of the form

$(x-x_0)^2=2px(y-y_0),$

where $(x_0,y_0)$ is the vertex of parabola and p is parabola's parameter.

By the definition, $\frac{p}{2}$ is the distance from the vertex to the directrix, so

$\dfrac{p}{2}=2\Rightarrow p=4$

Hence, the equation of parabola is

$(x-2)^2=8(y+4)$

See attached diagram for the graph of parabola and its directrix.

In vertex form this equation is

$y=\dfrac{1}{8}(x-2)^2-4$
