The equation of the parabola is (x + 5)² = 8(y + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the equation of the parabola in standard form

  • The standard form is (x - h)² = 4p(y - k)
  • The vertex is (h , k)
  • The focus is (h, k + p)

∵ The vertex of the parabola is (-5 , -4)

- The coordinates of the vertex are (h , k)

∴ h = -5 and k = -4

∵ The focus is (-5 , -2)

- The focus is (h , k + p)

∴ k + p = -2

∵ k = -4

∴ -4 + p = -2

- Add 4 to both sides

∴ p = 2

- Substitute the values of h , k , p in the form of the equation

∵ The equation of the parabola is (x - h)² = 4p(y - k)

∴ (x - -5)² = 4(2)(y - -4)

∴ (x + 5)² = 8(y + 4)

The equation of the parabola is (x + 5)² = 8(y + 4)

True or false: Every sequence is either arithmetic or geometric. If this is true, explain. If false,
tiny-mole [99]

In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between consecutive terms is constant. In formulas, there exists a number r such that

a_{n+1}-a_n=r\quad \forall n\geq 1

In an geometric sequence, the ratio between consecutive terms is constant. In formulas, there exists a number r such that

\dfrac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}=r\quad \forall n\geq 1

So, there exists infinite sequences that are not arithmetic nor geometric. Simply choose a sequence where neither the difference nor the ratio between consecutive terms is constant.

For example, any sequence starting with

1, 15, -3,\ldots

Won't be arithmetic nor geometric. It's not arithmetic (no matter how you continue it, indefinitely), because the difference between the first two numbers is 14, and between the second and the third is -18, and thus it's not constant. It's not geometric either, because the ratio between the first two numbers is 15, and between the second and the third is -1/5, and thus it's not constant.

A yacht that travels 1.375 km in 165 minutes expressed in km/h
Tomtit [17]

The speed of a yacht traveling a distance of 1.357 km in 165 minutes is 0.5 km/h

<h3>What is Speed?</h3>

The speed of an object is the distance covered by the object in respect to time.

Mathematically:

\mathbf{Speed = \dfrac{distance}{time}}

\mathbf{Speed = \dfrac{1.375 \ km}{165 minutes }}

  • We know that 60 minutes = 1 hour
  • 165 minutes = 2.75 hours

\mathbf{Speed = \dfrac{1.375 \ km}{2.75 \ hours}}

Speed = 0.5 km/hour
