Mathematics
1 answer:
Veseljchak [2.6K]3 years ago
3 0

ANSWER

The correct answer is C.

EXPLANATION

  • The directrix of the parabolas are parallel to the x-axis.
  • This means that, the orientation of the parabola is parallel to the y-axis.
  • We compare the focus and the directrix to determine whether the parabola opens downwards or upwards.
  • If the directrix is above the focus, then the parabola opens downwards.
  • On the other hand if the directrix is below the focus , then the parabola must open upwards.
  • If you look at option C, y=-2 isthe directrix. The focus is (3,-5). Since the the y-value of the focus , -5 is less than y=-2 which is the directrix, this parabola must open down.

The correct answer is C.

a cone has a volume of 1,570in3. If the height of the cone is 15 inches. Calculate the radius of the cone?
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

approximately 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume = 1/3h times \pi times radius square

1570 = 1/3 x 15 x 22/7 x r^{2}

1570 = 5 times \frac{22}{7} times r^{2}

1570 = 15.71r^{2}

\frac{1570}{15.71} = \frac{15.71 r^{2}}{15.71}

99.9 = r^2

\sqrt{99.9} = r

≅10

X - y = 0<br><br>A, B, C, or D​
skad [1K]

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the equation y = mx + b.

m represents the slope

b represents where the line crosses the y axis.

We can attempt to set up the equation given in the same way.

x - y = 0

Add y to both sides and the 0 can drop out.

x = y

This is also equal to:

y = x

In this equation the m is equal to 1 and the b is equal to 0.

Taking this into account the answer is D.
