A(9,2) B(1,6) if (2,k) is equidistant from A and B, find the value of k.

1 answer:

5 0

P is the point (2,k)
PA = PB
PA = √(49 + (2-k)²) and PB = √(1 + (6 - k)²)
√(49 + (2-k)²) = √(1 + (6 - k)²) => (49 + (2-k)² = (1 + (6 - k)²
=> 49 + 4 - 4k + k² = 1 + 36 - 12k + k² => 8k = 37 - 53 = -16 => k = -2

Identify this conic section. 16y = x^2

kiruha [24]

ANSWER

A parabola.

EXPLANATION

The given conic is :

$16y = {x}^{2}$

This can be rewritten as:

${x}^{2} = 16y$

${x}^{2} = 4(4)y$

This is a parabola with the vertex at the origin.

The foci is (0,4)

Therefore the given conic section is a parabola that has an axis of symmetry parallel to the y-axis.

The function g(x) is a transformation of the quadratic parent function, f(x)=x2. What function is g(x)?

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Your graph of f(x)= $x^2$ is the parent function. What you need to know for this graph what the stretch or compression is and what the flip is. When you flip somehting over the x-axis, which is g(x), your $x^2$ is negative. Also, since your graph gets skinnier, the number before the x would be a whole number, with no fractions. The only answer that fulfills this is answer choice D.
