Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area A = 15square cm

Length L = x

Width w = x - 2

Area = L × w

15 = x(x - 2)

15 = x^2 -2x

x^2 -2x - 15 = 0

Solving by factorization

x^2 - 5x + 3x - 15 = 0

(x^2 -5x) + (3x -15) = 0

x(x - 5) + 3(x - 5) = 0

(x + 3)(x - 5) = 0

(x + 3) = 0 or (x - 5) = 0

x = -3 or 5

Since x can't be negative therefore x is 5cm

Length = 5cm

Width = 5-2 = 3cm

Find the vertex and length of the latus rectum for the parabola. y=-1/2(x-2)^2+8
victus00 [196]
Y = -(1/2)(x-2)² +8
Re write it in standard form:
(y-8) = -1/2(x-2)²  ↔ (y-k) = a(x-h)²

This parabola open downward (a = -1/2 <0), with a maximum shown in vertex
The vertex is (h , k) → Vertex(2 , 8)
focus(h, k +c )
 a = 1/4c → -1/2 = 1/4c → c = -1/2, hence focus(2, 8-1/2) →focus(2,15/2)

Latus rectum: y-value = 15/2

Replace in the equation y with 15/2→→15/2 = -1/2(x-2)² + 8
Or -1/2(x-2)² +8 -15/2 = 0
Solving this quadratic equation gives x' = 3 and x" = 2, then 
Latus rectum = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

v

volume \: of \: a \: sphere =  \frac{4}{3}\pi \: r {}^{3}  \\ when \: r = 8 \\ volume =  \frac{4}{3}  \times  \frac{22}{7}  \times 8 {}^{3}  \\ volume =  \frac{4}{3}  \times  \frac{22}{7} \times 8 \times 8 \times 8 \\ volume =  \frac{4 \times 22 \times 512}{3 \times 7}   \\ volume =  \frac{45056}{21}  \\ volume = 2145.5m {}^{3}  \\  \\ for \: the \: second \: shape \\ volume =  \frac{4}{3}  \times  \frac{22}{7}  \times 5.5 {}^{3}  \\  =  \frac{4}{3}  \times  \frac{22}{7}  \times 166.373 \\  =  \frac{14641}{21}  \\  = 697.2yard
