The correct numbers to use in solving problems about
spans of time like B.C. and A.D. should be “integers”.
Integers are whole numbers (not a fractional number or not a decimal
number) which can take a value of negative, zero, or positive number. Example
of integers would be -1, 0 and 1.
<span>In calculations, the time period would be on the x-axis. Since
B.C. and A.D. are two different spans of time, therefore in the calculations,
the date of BC should be negative (negative x-axis) while the date of AD should
be positive (positive x-axis). This would place the origin as the common
reference.</span>
The general form of a parabola when using the focus and directrix is:
(x - h)² = 4p(y - k) where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola and 'p' is distance between vertex and the focus. We use this form due to the fact we can see the parabola will open up based on the directrix being below the focus. Remember that the parabola will hug the focus and run away from the directrix. The formula would be slightly different if the parabola was opening either left or right.
Given a focus of (-2,4) and a directrix of y = 0, we can assume the vertex of the parabola is exactly half way in between the focus and the directrix. The focus and vertex with be stacked one above the other, therefore the vertex will be (-2, 2) and the value of 'p' will be 2. We can now write the equation of the parabola:
(x + 2)² = 4(2)(y - 2)
(x + 2)² = 8(y - 2) Now you can solve this equation for y if you prefer solving for 'y' in terms of 'x'
Answer:
= 34.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The n th term of an arithmetic sequence is
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Given
= 121.5, then
a₁ + (69 × 1.5) = 121.5
a₁ + 103.5 = 121.5 ( subtract 103.5 from both sides )
a₁ = 18
Hence
= 18 + (11 × 1.5) = 18 + 16.5 = 34.5
Answer:
A
Total before tax: $118
Total after tax: $102.66
Step-by-step explanation:
For A, we add the cost of the shirt and jeans to get the total before tax.
$39.20 + $79.80 = $118.00
For the total, after 13% we see how much 1% is.
1% of $118 is $1.18
$1.18 * 13 = $15.34.
$118 - $15.34 = $102.66
Hope this helped! Have a nice day :)
