The distance from any point P (x,y) on the parabola to the focus = the distance of this point from the directrix.

distance between P to focus:-

= sqrt ( x - 2)^2 + (y - 5))^2

distance from the point to directrix = ( 9 - y)

so sqrt( x - 2)^2 + (y-5)^2  = 9 -y
(x - 2)^2+ (y - 5)^2 = (9-y)^2
x^2 -4x + 4 + y^2 - 10y + 25 = 81 - 18y + y^2
x^2 - 4x + 4 +25 - 81 = -18y + 10y
-8y = x^2 - 4x -52 

y =  (-1/8)^2 + 1/2 x + 6 1/2    is the required equation

Vinil7 [7]
Given:
2009 : 3,500 population
decrease of 2.2% per year. 
100% - 2.2% = 97.8%

2014 - 2009 = 5 years

3,500 * (0.978)^5 = 3,500 * 0.89473 = 3131.57

The bird population in 2014 will be 3,131.57 or 3,132.

How do you do number 1?
Alla [95]

Answer:

The decimal is not a rational number.

REASON:

A decimal can be a rational number if it fulfills any of the two conditions.

  • Condition 1:

            It must be Terminating. This means that the decimal should have finite number of digits.

  • Condition 2:

        If it is non-terminating decimal it should be Recurring. This means the decimal should repeat itself after some specific digits.
