To find the answer, you convert the percentage to a decimal. 140% = 1.4

Then you divide 56 by 1.4

56/1.4 = 40

Write an equation: "is" means =, and "of" means multiply 
56 = 1.4 N 

Divide both sides by 1.4: 
N = 56 ÷ 1.4 

N = 40

The perimeter of a rectangular swimming pool is 414 meters. The length of the pool is 7 meters more than four times the width. F
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Width = 40 meters

Length = 167 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Width of the pool = x meters

Then

Length of the pool = 4x + 7 meters

and

Perimeter =2(x+4x+7)=2(5x+7)=10x+14 meters

Hence,

10x+14=414\\ \\10x=414-14\\ \\10x=400\\ \\x=40\ meters\\ \\4x+7=4\cdot 40+7=167\ meters

Write an equation for a parabola in which the set of all points in the plane are equidistant from the focus and line. F(–2, 0);
UNO [17]
The line is called the directrix.  Here we have a vertical directrix, so a parabola sideways from usual.

Geometry is best done with squared distances.  The squared distance from an arbitrary point (x,y) to the vertical line x=2 is (x-2)^2.

We equate that to the squared distance of (x,y) to the focus (-2,0): 

(x-2)^2 = (x - -2)^2 + (y - 0)^2

x^2 -4x + 4=x^2 +4x +4 + y^2

-8x = y^2

We could call that done.  A more standard form might be

x =- \dfrac 1 8 \ y^2
