Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A) x/840=1/21

x=(1/21)*840=840/21=40

x=40

------------------

B) 14/x=16/20

simplify 16/20 into 4/5

14/x=4/5

x=14/(4/5)=(14/1)(5/4)=70/4

simplify

x=35/2

Part 4: Use the information provided to write the vertex formula of each parabola.

sergey [27]

Answer: 1. x = (y - 2)² + 8

$\bold{2.\quad x=-\dfrac{1}{2}(y-10)^2}+1$

3. y = 2(x +9)² + 7

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Notes: Vertex form is: y =a(x - h)² + k or x =a(y - k)² + h

(h, k) is the vertex
point of vertex is midpoint of focus and directrix: $\dfrac{focus+directrix}{2}$

$\bullet\quad a=\dfrac{1}{4p}$

p is the distance from the vertex to the focus

$focus = \bigg(\dfrac{-31}{4},2\bigg)\qquad directrix: x=\dfrac{-33}{4}\\\\\text{Since directrix is x, then the x-value of the vertex is:}\\\\\dfrac{focus+directrix}{2}=\dfrac{\frac{-31}{4}+\frac{-33}{4}}{2}=\dfrac{\frac{-64}{4}}{2}=\dfrac{-16}{2}=-8\\\\\text{The y-value of the vertex is given by the focus as: 2}\\\\\text{vertex (h, k)}=(-8,2)$

Now let's find the a-value:

$p=focus-vertex\\\\p=\dfrac{-31}{4}-\dfrac{-32}{4}=\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\\\a=\dfrac{1}{4p}=\dfrac{1}{4(\frac{1}{4})}=\dfrac{1}{1}=1$

Now, plug in a = 1 and (h, k) = (-8, 2) into the equation x =a(y - k)² + h

x = (y - 2)² + 8

***************************************************************************************

$focus = \bigg(\dfrac{1}{2},10\bigg)\qquad directrix: x=\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\\text{Since directrix is x, then the x-value of the vertex is:}\\\\\dfrac{focus+directrix}{2}=\dfrac{\frac{1}{2}+\frac{3}{2}}{2}=\dfrac{\frac{4}{2}}{2}=\dfrac{2}{2}=1\\\\\text{The y-value of the vertex is given by the focus as: 10}\\\\\text{vertex (h, k)}=(1,10)$

Now let's find the a-value:

$p=focus-vertex\\\\p=\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{2}{2}=\dfrac{-1}{2}\\\\\\a=\dfrac{1}{4p}=\dfrac{1}{4(\frac{-1}{2})}=\dfrac{1}{-2}=-\dfrac{1}{2}$

Now, plug in a = -1/2 and (h, k) = (1, 10) into the equation x =a(y - k)² + h

$\bold{x=-\dfrac{1}{2}(y-10)^2}+1$

***************************************************************************************

$focus = \bigg(-9,\dfrac{57}{8}\bigg)\qquad directrix: y=\dfrac{55}{8}\\\\\text{Since directrix is y, then the y-value of the vertex is:}\\\\\dfrac{focus+directrix}{2}=\dfrac{\frac{57}{8}+\frac{55}{8}}{2}=\dfrac{\frac{112}{8}}{2}=\dfrac{14}{2}=7\\\\\text{The x-value of the vertex is given by the focus as: -9}\\\\\text{vertex (h, k)}=(-9,7)$

Now let's find the a-value:

$p=focus-vertex\\\\p=\dfrac{57}{8}-\dfrac{56}{8}=\dfrac{1}{8}\\\\\\a=\dfrac{1}{4p}=\dfrac{1}{4(\frac{1}{8})}=\dfrac{1}{\frac{1}{2}}=2$

Now, plug in a = 2 and (h, k) = (-9, 7) into the equation y =a(x - h)² + k

y = 2(x +9)² + 7

During the half time of a basketball game, a sling shot launches T-shirts at the crowd. The T-shirt is launched with an initial

kumpel [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

The T-shirt is launched with an initial upward velocity of 60 ft/s from a height of 5 feet. Its equation of motion is given by :

$f(x) = -12x^2 + 60x + 5$ ....(1)

(a) For maximum height, put $\dfrac{df(x)}{dt}=0$

So,

$\dfrac{ d(-12x^2 + 60x + 5)}{dt}=-24x+60$

Now put,

$-24x+60=0\\\\x=2.5\ s$

So, the time taken for the T-shirt to reach maximum height is 2.5 seconds.

(b) Put x = 2.5 s in equation (1)

$f(x=2.5) = -12(2.5)^2 + 60(2.5) + 5\\\\f(x)=80\ \text{feet}$

Hey there, Selenawebb0418!

If you look at the table, you can see that the plant grows 2 centimeters (I'm assuming it's centimeters) every 3 days.
So, the rate of the plant should be $\frac{2}{3}$ cm per day.

Thank you for using Brainly.
See you soon!
