An equation for the parabola would be y²=-19x.
Since we have x=4.75 for the directrix, this tells us that the parabola's axis of symmetry runs parallel to the x-axis. This means we will use the standard form
(y-k)²=4p(x-h), where (h, k) is the vertex, (h+p, k) is the focus and x=h-p is the directrix.
Beginning with the directrix:
x=h-p=4.75
h-p=4.75
Since the vertex is at (0, 0), this means h=0 and k=0:
0-p=4.75
-p=4.75
p=-4.75
Substituting this into the standard form as well as our values for h and k we have:
(y-0)²=4(-4.75)(x-0)
y²=-19x
Answer:
x = 5.5
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
31 = x + 25.5
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Subtract 25.5 on both sides: 5.5 = x
- Rewrite: x = 5.5
Answer:
The cells membrane is selectively permeable, meaning only certain substances can easily pass through it. Only small, non polar molecules can easily pass through the small spaces between the hydrophobic heads and phospholipids. Water would have trouble due to it being a polar molecule. Proteins and carbs are quite large, making it difficult for them to pass through. Salt, which ionizes water, would also have difficulty passing through as it is a charged particle. Oxygen, on the other hand, is a non polar molecule that is small, so it can easily pass through the phospholipid bilayer.

Take the number (63) and then divide it with 100, this gives you 1%. Then you want to multiply with with 15 in order to get 15%. The answer becomes:
