What is the focus of the parabola? <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%20x%5E%7B2%7D%20-x%2B3" id="Te

We know that
the equation of the parabola is of the form
y=ax²+bx+c
in this problem
y=1/4x²−x+3
where
a=1/4
b=-1
c=3
the coordinates of the focus are
(-b/2a,(1-D)/4a)
where D is the discriminant b²-4ac
D=(-1)²-4*(1/4)*3-----> D=1-3---> D=-2
therefore
x coordinate of the focus
-b/2a----> 1/[2*(-1/4)]----> 2

y coordinate of the focus
(1-D)/4a------> (1+2)/(4/4)---> 3

the coordinates of the focus are (2,3)

Angle of the Sun A 96-ft tree casts a shadow that is 120 ft long. What is the angle of elevation of the sun

scoray [572]

Answer:

The angle of elevation of the sun is 39⁰

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

height of the tree, h = 96 ft

length of the shadow, L = 120 ft

|

| 96ft

|

|

θ------------------------------------

120ft

Completing this triangle to cut across the top of the tree gives you a right angled triangle with θ as the angle of elevation of the sun.

Apply trig-ratio to determine the angle of elevation of the sun;

tanθ = opposite side / adjacent side

tanθ = 96 / 120

tanθ = 0.8

θ = tan⁻¹(0.8)

θ = 38.7⁰

θ = 39⁰

Therefore, the angle of elevation of the sun is 39⁰

What is the following quotient? StartFraction RootIndex 3 StartRoot 60 EndRoot Over RootIndex 3 StartRoot 20 EndRoot EndFraction

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

$\sqrt[3]{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are required to simplify the quotient: $\dfrac{\sqrt[3]{60} }{\sqrt[3]{20}}$

Since the <u>numerator and denominator both have the same root index</u>, we can therefore say:

$\dfrac{\sqrt[3]{60} }{\sqrt[3]{20}} =\sqrt[3]{\dfrac{60} {20}}$

$=\sqrt[3]{3}$

The simplified form of the given quotient is $\sqrt[3]{3}$ .

Sutopa has 3/4 of the money Maneet has. Maneet has $18 less than Kim. Together, they have $286.40. How much money does each of t

anastassius [24]

Solving a system of equations we can see:

Sutopa has $73.20
Maneet has $97.60
Kim has $115.60

<h3>How much money each of them has?</h3>

First, let's define the variables:

S = money that Sutopa has.
M = money that Maneet has.
K = money that Kim has.

We can write the system of equations:

S = (3/4)*M

M = K - $18

S + M + K = $286.40

First, we can rewrite the second equation to get:

K = M + $18

Now we can replace the first and second equations into the third one:

(3/4)*M + M + (M + $18) = $286.40

Now we can solve this for M:

M*(1 + 1 + 3/4) = $286.40 - $18

M = $268.40*(4/11) = $97.60

Now we can find the other two values:

K = M + $18 = $97.60 + $18 = $115.60

S = (3/4)*M = (3/4)*$97.60 = $73.20
