Find the slant height for a right circular cone with a radius of 3 and a height of 5.
babymother [125]

Answer: l = \sqrt{34}

Step-by-step explanation:

The slant height of a cone is given by

l = \sqrt{h^{2}+r^{2}  }

h= 5

r = 3

Therefore :

l = \sqrt{5^{2}+3^{2}  }

l= \sqrt{25+9}

l = \sqrt{34}

What are the coordinates of the vertex of the parabola with the equation y = x2 + 2x – 3?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

  A.  (-1, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex can be found by converting the equation from standard form to vertex form.

<h3>Vertex</h3>

Considering the x-terms, we have ...

  y = (x^2 +2x) -3

where the coefficient of x is 2. Adding (and subtracting) the square of half that, we get ...

  y = (x^2 +2x +(2/2)^2) -3 -(2/2)^2

  y = (x +1)^2 -4

Compare this to the vertex form equation ...

  y = a(x -h)^2 +k

which has vertex (h, k).

We see that h=-1 and k=-4. The vertex is (h, k) = (-1, -4).

On the attached graph, the vertex is the turning point, the minimum.
