Substitute 136.5 for y.

136.5=\frac{x(191-x)}{60}

8190=x(191-x)

8190=191x-x^{2}

x^{2} -191x+8190=0

Compare this equation with ax^{2} +bx+c=0

a = 1, b = - 191, c = 8190

x=\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2} or

x=\frac{-b-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2}

x=\frac{191+\sqrt{191^{2}-4(1)(8190) } }{2} or

x=\frac{191-\sqrt{191^{2}-4(1)(8190) } }{2}

x=\frac{191+\sqrt{36481-32760 } }{2} or

x=\frac{191-\sqrt{36481-32760 } }{2}

x=\frac{191+\sqrt{3721 } }{2} or

x=\frac{191-\sqrt{3721 } }{2}

x=\frac{191+61}{2} or

x=\frac{191-61}{2}

x=\frac{252}{2} or

x=\frac{130}{2}

x = 126 or x = 65

Hence, the points on the curve are (65, 136.5) and (126, 136.5).

The width of the air space is the distance between these points.

Width = \sqrt{(x_{2}- x_{1})^{2} +( y_{2}- y_{1}) ^{2}

= \sqrt{(126- 65)^{2} +(136.5-136.5) ^{2}

= 126 - 65

= 61

Hence, width of the air space is 61m.

A parabola can be drawn given a focus of (-4,10) and a directrix of y=-4 write the equation of the parabola in any form
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

(x+4)^2=28(y-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The directrix of the parabola is the horizontal line with the eqaution y=-4. The focus of the parabola is at point (-4,10), than the axis of symmetry of the parabola is the perpendicular line to the directrix passing through the focus. Its equation is x=-4

The distance between the directrix and the focus is |10-(-4)|=14, so p=14 and the vertex is at point \left(-4,10-\dfrac{14}{2}\right)\rightarrow (-4,3)

Parabola goes in positive y-direction, hence its equation  is

(x-x_0)^2=2p(y-y_0),

where (x_0,y_0) is the vertex, so the equation of this parabola is

(x+4)^2=28(y-3)

Mr. Hammond is the volunteer coordinator for a company that puts on running races. Last year, the company organized 7 short race
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

28 short race volunteers

76 long race volunteers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Short races = a

Long races = b

LAST YEAR:

7a + 8b = 804 - - - - (1)

THIS YEAR:

11a + 5b = 688 - - - (2)

Multiply (1) by 5 and (2) by 8

35a + 40b = 4020

88a + 40b = 5504

Subtract

-53a = - 1484

a = 1484 / 53

a = 28

Put a = 28 in equation (1)

7(28) + 8b = 804

196 + 8b = 804

8b = 804 - 196

8b = 608

b = 76

28 short race volunteers

76 long race volunteers
