Answer:
4 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola with its vertex at the origin can be written as ...
y = 1/(4p)x^2
The problem statement tells us that one point on the parabola is (x, y) = (12, 9). We can put these values into the equation and solve for p, the distance from the focus to the vertex.
9 = 1/(4p)(12^2)
9×4/144 = 1/p = 1/4 . . . . . . . . multiply by the inverse of the coefficient of 1/p
Then p = 4, and the bulb is 4 cm from the vertex.
Answer:
9.93
Step-by-step explanation:
Secant-Tangent theorem tells us that the product of the secant segment with its external segment is equal to the square of the tangent segment.
From the diagram, we can say (let the unknown part of secant line, the part left of the segment length 5, be y):
(15+y)(10) = 17^2
Solving for y we get:
Now we can use the chord theorem to solve for x. Chord theorem tells us that when 2 intersecting chords create 4 segments, the product of the individual chord segments are equal. Thus we can say:
5 * 13.9 = 7 * x
Now solving, we get:
Thus x = 9.93
last answer choice is right.
