Find the vertex, focus, directrix, and focal width of the parabola: -1/40x^2=y

For
(x-h)^2=4p(y-k)
vertex is (h,k)
distance from vertex to directix=p=distance from vertex to focus
|4p|=focal width

remember, focus is on the side of the parabola where it opens and directix is at the back
when p is negative, it opens down
when p is positive, it opens up

look at equation
-1/40(x-0)^2=(y-0)
times -40 to both sides
(x-0)^2=-40(y-0)
(x-0)^2=4(-10)(y-0)
vertex=(0,0)
p=-10,it's negative so it opens down

focus is 10 units below vertex (y direction)
focus=(0,-10)

diretix is 10 above
directix is y=10

focal width=|4p|=|4(-10)|=|-40|=40




vertex=(0,0)
focus=(0,-10)
directix is y=10
focal width=40 units

Rectangle WXYZ was dilated to create W'X'Y'Z'.
Snezhnost [94]

You did not attach any picture to solve this problem. We cannot calculate for the value W’X’ without the correct illustrations. However, I think I found the correct one (see attached), please attach it next time.

So the first thing we have to do is to calculate for the dilation factor. Taking point G as the reference point, we can see that the distance of point G from rectangle W’X’Y’Z’ is 1.5 while the distance from rectangle WXYZ is (1.5 + 7.5), therefore the dilation factor to use is:

dilation factor = 1.5 / (1.5 + 7.5) = 1.5 / 9 = 1/6

 

Since WX has an initial measure of 3 units, therefore the measure of W’X’ is:

W’X’ = 3 units * (1/6) = 0.5 units

 

Answer:

<span>0.5 units</span>

A man throws a ball into the air with a velocity of 96 ft/s. Use the formula h=−16 t 2 + v 0 t to determine when the height of t
Ann [662]

Answer:

Assuming that v0 represents the initial velocity, then v0 = 96 ft/s. Substitute this value into h(t) and set the equation equal to 48. Then, write this quadratic equation in standard form, which is ax² + bx+ c = 0, where a, b, and c are constants. Either use factoring or the Quadratic Function to solve the equation for t. Remember that t must be positive, because it represents a unit of time.
