The equation of parabola is y=\frac{1}{10}\left(x-1\right)^{2}-2

Comparing with the vertex form of the parabola: y=a(x-h)^2+k

a=\frac{1}{10},h=1,k=-2

Hence, the vertex of the parabola is given by (h,k) = (1, -2)

Now, vertex is the midpoint of the focus and the point on the directrix.

Distance, between vertex and focus is p and that of point on the directrix is p.

Now, let us find p

p=\frac{1}{4a}\\\\p=\frac{1}{4\cdot1/10}\\\\p=\frac{5}{2}

Thus, the focus is given by

(h,k+p)\\\\=(1,-2+5/2)\\\\=(1,1/2)=(1,0.5)

And the directrix is given by

y=k-p\\\\y=-2-5/2\\\\y=-\frac{9}{2}

Since, a >0 hence, it is an upward parabola.

The graph is shown in the attached file.

Convert x2 + y2 -4x = 0 to polar form.
Bingel [31]

Answer:

r(r-4\cos \theta)=0

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following equation:

x^2 + y^2 -4x = 0

We have to convert it into polar form.

We put

x = r \cos \theta\\y = r\sin \theta

Putting values, we get:

x^2 + y^2 -4x = 0\\(r\cos \theta)^2 + (r\sin \theta)^2 - 4(r\cos \theta) = 0\\r^2(\cos^2 \theta + \sin^2 \theta) - 4r\cos \theta = 0\\r^2 - 4r\cos \theta = 0\\r(r-4\cos \theta)=0

is the required polar form.

How to determine the maximum and minimum lengths of a missing side on a triangle?
VashaNatasha [74]
Well to find the missing side you're going to need the other two. Take the one side and multiply by itself. Take the other one and multiply by itself. Add those two products. Then root it. Basically find something that multiplys by itself to get that product

Approximate pi plus the square root of 70 to the nearest hundredth.
stich3 [128]

Answer:

  11.51

Step-by-step explanation:

In general, a calculator is required to evaluate the irrational sum ...

  π + √70

<h3>Calculator result</h3>

The result from a readily-available online calculator is shown in the attachment.

  π + √70 ≈ 11.51

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

You have probably memorized pi to several digits: 3.1416. To obtain the required estimate means you need to approximate √70 to about the same level of precision.

For a number n = a² +b, the square root can be approximated by the continued fraction ...

  √n ≈ a +b/(2a +b/(2a +...))

Effectively, the root (r) can be iterated from the recursive formula ...

  r' = a +b/(a +r)

For √70, we have 70 = 8² +6   ⇒   a=8, b=6

If the initial approximation of the root is r0≈a=8, then a couple of iterations gives ...

  r1 = 8 + 6/(8 +r0) = 8 + 6/(8 +8) = 8 3/8

  r2 = 8 + 6/(8 +r1) = 8 +6/(8 +8 3/8) = 8 48/131

This has sufficient accuracy for the purpose. The decimal equivalent of the sum then becomes ...

  3.1416 +8.3664 = 11.5080 ≈ 11.51
