Answer:

p=12

Step-by-step explanation:

DBC = 180

ABE = 180

ABC + DBA = 180

ABC = (5p -28)

DBA + (12p -4)

CBD = ABC + DBA = 180

-------------------------------------------------

180 = (5p - 28) + (12p + 4)

180 = 17p - 24

204 = 17p

12 = p

p = 12

------------------------------------------------------

180 = (5(12) - 28) + (12(12) +4)

180 = 60 - 28 + 144 +4

180 = 180

What is the equation of the quadratic graph with a focus of (3, 1) and a directrix of y = 5?

telo118 [61]

Answer:

$f(x)=-\frac{1}{8}(x-3)^2+3$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the equation of the parabola with a focus of $(3,1)$ and directrix $y=5$ .

Considering the directrix, the quadratic graph must open downwards.

The equation of this parabola is given by the formula,

$(x-h)^2=4p(y-k)$ , where $(h,k)$ is the vertex of the parabola.

The axis of this parabola meets the directrix at $(3,5)$ .

Since the vertex is the midpoint of the focus and the point of intersection of the axis of the parabola and the directrix,

$h=\frac{3+3}{2}=3$ and $k=\frac{5+1}{2}=3$ .

The equation of the parabola now becomes,

$(x-3)^2=4p(y-3)$ .

Also $|p|$ is the distance between the vertex and the directrix.

$|p|=2$

This implies that $p=-2\:or\:2$ .

Since the parabola turns downwards,

$p=-2$ .

Our equation now becomes,

$(x-3)^2=4(-2)(y-3)$ .

$(x-3)^2=-8(y-3)$ .

We make y the subject to get,

$y=-\frac{1}{8}(x-3)^2+3)$ .

This is the same as

$f(x)=-\frac{1}{8}(x-3)^2+3)$ .

Please help me!!<br> 2(5– x)3 – 11=151

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

x = -22

Step-by-step explanation:

2(5– x)3 – 11 = 151

(10 - 2x)3 - 11 = 151

30 - 6x = 162

-6x = 132

x = -22

Determine the given point is a solution to the equation. Show all work.<br> 1) 3x-7y=4; (1,-1)

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

NOT a solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the values of x and y and see if the equation is satisfied:

3(1) -7(-1) = 3 +7 = 10 ≠ 4 . . . . . . the given point is not on the line

(1, -1) is not a solution to the equation.

_____

(-1, 1) is a solution
