MariettaO [177]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

<h2>q+4= -4</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

step one:

This problem is based on a word problem, in word problem basically we are expected to convert statements to mathematical expression.

given the statement as

"4 more than q is -4"

step two:

1. 4 more than q is expressed as q+4

2. is -1 simply tells us that no 1 above is equal to -4

step three:

hence the statement written mathematicaly is

q+4= -4

topjm [15]

Answer:

z/y = 7/4

Step-by-step explanation:

In y/z = 4/7, the numerator and denominator correspond with each other

So, y =4 and z = 7

an open rectangular cardboard box with a square base is to have a volume of 256cm^3. Find the dimensions of the box if the area
Anit [1.1K]
Let
x------> the length side of the square base of the box
y-------> the height of the box

we know that
volume of the box=b²*h
b=x
h=y
volume=256 cm³
so
256=x²*y------>y=256/x²-------->  equation 1

<span>The amount of material used is directly proportional to the surface area, so we will minimize the amount of material by minimizing the surface area.</span>

surface area of the cardboard=area of the base+perimeter of base*height
area of the base=x²
perimeter of the base=4*x
height=y
surface area=x²+4x*y-----> equation 2
substitute equation 1 in equation 2
SA=x²+4x*[256/x²]-----> SA=x²+1024/x

step 1 
find the first derivative of SA and equate to zero
2x+1024*(-1)/x²=0------> 2x=1024/x²----> x³=512--------> x=8 cm
y=256/x²------> y=256/8²-----> y=4 cm

the answer is
the length side of the square base of the box is 8 cm
the height of the box is 4 cm

A parabola can be drawn given a focus of (5, -3) and a directrix of y=1. Write the equation of the parabola in any form.
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

(x²-10x+33)/(-8) = y

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between any point on a parabola from both its focus and directrix are the same.

Let's say we have a point (x,y) on the parabola. We can then say that using the distance formula,

\sqrt{(x-5)^2+(y-(-3))^2}is the distance between (x,y) and the focus. Similarly, the distance between (x,y) and the directrix is |y-1| (I use absolute value here because distance is always positive). We can find this equation by taking the shortest distance from the point to the line. Because the closest point to the line will be the same x value as the point itself, the distance is simply the distance between the y value of the point and the y value of the directrix.

Equating the two equations given, we have

\sqrt{(x-5)^2+(y-(-3))^2} = |y-1|

square both sides to get

(x-5)²+(y+3)²=(y-1)²

expand the y components

(x-5)² + y²+6y+9 = y²-2y+1

subtract y²+6y+9 from both sides

(x-5)² = -8y - 8

expand the x components

x²-10x+25 = -8y - 8

add 8 to both sides to isolate the -8y

x²-10x+33 = -8y

divide both sides by -8 to isolate y

(x²-10x+33)/(-8) = y
