What is the focus of the parabola? y=−14x2−2x−2

Mathematics

First, we need to transform the equation into its standard form (x - h)²=4p(y - k).
Using completing the square method:

y = -14x² - 2x - 2
y = -14(x² + 2x/14) - 2
y = -14(x² + 2x/14 + (2/28)²) -2 + (2/28)²
y = -14(x + 1/14)² - 391/196
-1/14(y + 391/196) = (x + 1/14)²

This is a vertical parabola and its focus <span>(h, k + p) is (-1/14, -391/196 + 1/56) = (-1/14, -775/392).

Or (-0.071,-1.977).</span>

<h3>How do we measure and calculate the distance in Geometry?</h3>

The distance between two points in geometry can be calculated by using the Pythagoras theorem.

Mathematically, the Pythagoras theorem can be expressed as:

\mathbf{d = \sqrt{x^2 +y^2}}

where;

  • x and y are opposite and adjacent sides respectively.

\mathbf{d = \sqrt{(9)^2 +(12)^2}}

\mathbf{d = \sqrt{81+144}}

\mathbf{d = \sqrt{225}}

d = 15 miles  

Therefore, we can conclude that they will be 15 miles apart after one hour if they left the same point at the same time.

In a G.P the 3rd term is 4 times the 1st term and the sum of the 2nd term and the 4th term is 30.find the common ratio,find the
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

the common ratio is either 2 or -2.

the sum of the first 7 terms is then either 765 or 255

Step-by-step explanation:

a geometric sequence or series of progression (these are the most common names for the same thing) means that every new term of the sequence is created by multiplying the previous term by a constant factor which is called the common ratio.

so,

a1

a2 = a1×f

a3 = a2×f = a1×f²

a4 = a3×f = a1×f³

the problem description here tells us

a3 = 4×a1

and from above we know a3 = a1×f².

so, f² = 4

and therefore the common ratio = f = 2 or -2 (we need to keep that in mind).

again, the problem description tells us

a2 + a4 = 30

a1×f + a1×f³ = 30

for f = 2

a1×2 + a1×2³ = 30

2a1 + 8a1 = 30

10a1 = 30

a1 = 3

for f = -2

a1×-2 + a1×(-2)³ = 30

-10a1 = 30

a1 = -3

the sum of the first n terms of a geometric sequence is

sn = a1×(1 - f^(n+1))/(1-f) for f <>1

so, for f = 2

s7 = 3×(1 - 2⁸)/(1-2) = 3×-255/-1 = 3×255 = 765

for f = -2

s7 = -3×(1 - (-2)⁸)/(1 - -2) = -3×(1-256)/3 = -3×-255/3 =

= -1×-255 = 255

Solve by elimination <br> 7x+7y=-7<br> -10x-7y=28
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

x = - 7, y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

7x + 7y = - 7 -----> equation 1

- 10x - 7y = 28 -----> equation 2

Add equations 1 & 2,

7x + 7y = - 7

- 10x - 7y = 28

___________

- 3x + 0 = 21

- 3x = 21

x = 21 / - 3

x = - 7

Substitute x = - 7 in equation 1,

7x + 7y = - 7

7y + 7x = - 7

7y + 7 ( - 7 ) = - 7

7y - 49 = - 7

7y = - 7 + 49

7y = 42

y = 42 / 7

y = 6

Find f(x) =32<br> f(x)=3x-1
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Given f(x)=32

So we can substitute 32 in place of 'x'

So, f(x)=3x-1

=    f(x)=3(32)-1

=    f(x)=96-1

=    f(x)=95

f(x)=3x-1 = 95
