Answer:

a. 8.5 in.

b. 34 in

c. x = 1/39 x^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a.

x = 1/34 y^2

y^2 = 34x

Comparing with y^2 = 4px where p is the focus:

4p = 34

p = 8.5 in.

Part b.

The diameter = 4p = 34 in.

Part c.

Diameter = 4p = 34 + 5 = 39 in

The new equation is x = 1/39 x^2.

Given $dc = 7$, $cb = 8$, $ab = \frac{1}{4}ad$, and $ed = \frac{4}{5}ad$, find $fc$. Express your answer as a decimal.
Pachacha [2.7K]

A ↔ B ↔ C ↔ D ↔ E ↔ F

 \frac{1}{4} AD      8      7      \frac{4}{5} AD   ???

AB + BC + CD = AD   <em>segment addition postulate</em>

\frac{1}{4} AD   +   8   +   7   = AD

\frac{1}{4} AD   +       15        = AD

AD         + 60    = 4AD

                  60    = 3AD

                  20    = AD

AB =  \frac{1}{4} AD    =  \frac{1}{4}(20)    = 5

DE =  \frac{4}{5}AD   =  \frac{4}{5}(5)    = 4

CD + DE + EF = CF   <em>segment addition postulate</em>

7   +   4   + EF  = CF

     11        + EF  = CF

Answer: 11 + EF

Note: You did not provide any info about EF.  If you have additional information that you did not type in, calculate EF and add it to 11 to find the length of CF.

If (x/100-1)(x/100+1)=kx^2-1 k=
Artist 52 [7]
(x/100-1)(x/100+1)=kx^2-1
(x/100-1)(x/100+1)=(x/100)^2 - 1^2 because it's a difference of squares ( (a-b)(a+b) = a^2-ab+ab-b^2 = a^2 - b^2):
(x/100)^2 - 1^2=kx^2 - 1
(x/100)^2 - 1=kx^2 - 1
(x/100)^2=kx^2
(x^2)/(100^2)=kx^2
1/(100^2)=k
1/10000=k
k=0.0001

A Ford is traveling 20 mph slower than a Buick. The Buick is traveling at a rate of 65 mph. Let F = the the speed of the Ford. W
snow_tiger [21]
Answer: The formula to find the speed of the Ford could be F = B - 20.

Since the Ford is 20 mph slower than the Buick, all you have to do is subtract 20 from the speed of the Buick. We know the speed of the Buick, it is 65.

Therefore, the speed of the Buick is 65 - 20 or 45 mph.
