Find the standard form of the equation of the parabola with a focus at (0, 8) and a directrix at y = -8.

1 answer:

5 0

Vertex is directly in middle of directix and focus

distance from 8 to -8 is 16
16/2=8
so 8 below focus (since 8>-8) is the point (0,0
vertex is (0,0)
nice

it opens up because focus is above directix
also it goes up down so
4p(y-k)=(x-h)^2
(h,k) is veretx
we got that (h,k) is (0,0)
and p is distance from vertex to focus which is 8
so
4(8)(y-0)=(x-0)^2
32y=x^2
y=(1/32)x^2

Theresa Morgan, a chemist, has a 30% hydrochloric acid solution and a 50% hydrochloric acid solution. How many liters of each sh

Bogdan [553]

Let x represent the number of liters of 50% acid Theresa puts into the mix. The the number of liters of 30% acid will be (420-x). The total amount of acid in the final solution will be ...
0.50x + 0.30(420-x) = 0.45(420)
0.20x + 126 = 189 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
0.20x = 63 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 126
x = 63/0.20 = 315 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . liters of 50% solution
(420-x) = 420-315 = 105 . . . . . . . . . liters of 30% solution

Theresa should mix ...
105 liters of 30% solution
315 liters of 50% solution

A cake decorator rolls a piece of stiff paper to form a cone. She cuts off the tip of the cone and uses it as a funnel to pour d

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for volume of a cone

V = 1/3 pi r^2 (h)

V = 1/3 pi 66^2 (18)

V= 1/3 pi 4356(18)

V = 1/3 pi 78408

V = 1/3 264,201.12

V = 82,067.04cm^3

Jillian flew to New Zealand for summer vacation. While she was there, she rode her bike 1/3 of the time. She spent 1/4 of the re

Elis [28]

If the time she rode her bike is 24, then 24*3 would be the Whole time she was there. She was there for a total of 72 hours.
Subtract 24 from 72 because it's 1/3 and you need the other time.
You get 48.
You need to find 1/4 of 48, so you divide it by 4.
48/4 = 12.
She rides the train for 12 hours. This is 1/2 of a day, so your answer is:

She rides the train for 1/2 of a day.
