What is the slope of a line that is parallel to the line y=-1/5?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

slope = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

y = - \frac{1}{5} is the equation of a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis.

Since it is parallel to the x- axis the slope = 0

Thus any line parallel to it will have a slope = 0

A parabolic microphone used on the sidelines of a professional football game uses a reflective dish 24 in. wide and 5 in. deep.
madreJ [45]

Answers:

(1 Question in written form): 7.2 inches.

(2 Question in the picture): Option (D) (y+1)^2=2(x+3) and  F=(\frac{-5}{2},-1) and x=\frac{-7}{2}

Explanations:

1. (Question in written form):

First you need to know the standard form of a parabola (considering it opens in +x direction and the vertex of the parabola is at origin), which is as follows:

(y-k)^2 = 4p(x-h)

Since the vertex of the parabola is at origin, h = 0 and k = 0. The above equation will now become:

y^2 = 4px ---- (A)


Where p is the distance between the vertex and the focus of a parabola, which we need to find (or where the microphone should be placed).

As the vertex is assumed to be placed at the origin, the parabolic dish, which is 24 inches wide, will be split evenly on both sides of the y axis (as the opening of the parabola is in x-axis—stated above), giving the distance of 12 inches from each sides of y axis (12 inches + 12 inches = 24 inches). Since it (parabolic microphone) is 5 inches deep, the coordinates will become: (5, +12) and (5, -12).

Plug any of the points—(5,+12) or (5,-12)—in equation (A), you will get the following:

(12)^2 = 4p(5) \\ 144 = 4p(5) \\ \frac{144}{5} = 4p \\ \frac{144}{5*4} = p \\ p=7.2\thinspace inches

Hence, the correct answer is 7.2 inches.


2. (Question in the picture):

First we need to write the following equation in the standard form:

y^2 - 2x + 2y -5 = 0 ----- (B)


The standard form of parabola is:

(y-k)^2 = 4p(x-h) ----- (C)


Rearrange equation (B) and solve as follows:

y^2-2x+2y-5=0 \\ y^2 + 2y - 5 = 2x \\ y^2 + 2y +1 = 2x + 6 \\ y^2 + y + y + 1 = 2(x+3) \\ y(y+1)+1(y+1)=2(x+3)\\(y+1)^2=2(x+3)

You can write the above equation as follows:

(y-(-1))^2 = 4(\frac{1}{2})(x-(-3)) ----- (D)

Now compare equation (D) with (C), we will get:

Focus = (h+p, k) = (-3+(1/2), -1)

Focus: (\frac{-5}{2},-1)


Now, to find x, use the following formula:

x = h - p

x = -3-\frac{1}{2} = \frac{-7}{2}


Hence, the correct option is (D) -> F=(\frac{-5}{2},-1) and x=\frac{-7}{2}

Help ASAP !!!!! Which number line represents the solutions to \x + 4) = 2?
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

first option

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

| x + 4 | = 2

The absolute value function always produces a positive value but the expression inside can be positive or negative, thus

x + 4 = 2 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

x = - 2

OR

- (x + 4) = 2, distribute left side

- x - 4 = 2 ( add 4 to both sides )

- x = 6 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = - 6

Thus solutions are x = - 2, x = - 6

These are represented on the graph by solid blue circles at x = - 2, x = - 6

The first option represents the solution
