The discriminant is b^2 -4ac
a = 1
b = -2
c = 4

discriminant = 4 -4 * 1 * 4 =
4 -16 =
-12
I get MINUS 12 as the answer but that isn't one of the choices.

A basketball has a diameter of 9.5 inches what is the volume of the basketball using 3.14 for pi.

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

448.69 in^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a sphere is given by the formula ...

V = (4/3)πr^3

We want to use diameter, so we can substitute r = d/2 into the formula:

V = (4/3)π(d/2)^3 = (4/(3·8))πd^3

V = (π/6)d^3

For the given numbers, ...

V = (3.14/6)(9.5^3) ≈ 448.69 in^3 . . . . volume of a basketball

The equation of a parabola is 1/32 (y−2)2=x−1 .

Andru [333]

The given equation of parabola is

$\frac{1}{32} (y-2)^2 = x-1$

Which can also be written as

$x = \frac{1}{32} (y-2)^2 +1$

Here vertex (h,k) is (1,2)

And value of a is

$a = \frac{1}{32}$

Formula of focus is

$(h+ \frac{1}{4a} , k)$

Substituting the values of h,k and a, we will get

$(1+ \frac{1}{4*(1/32) } , 2} = (1+ 8,2) = (9,2)$

Therefore the correct option is the last option .
