Answer:
The depth of the reflector is 0.84 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>(See the figure below)</em>
The equation of a parabola centered at the origin with an axis of symmetry on y-axis is:
(1)
With p the distance from the origin to the focus using p=6, the equation (1) of the parabola becomes:
(2)
Note that the point B is on the parabola, so this point should satisfy the parabola equation (2) that allow us to use the value x=4.5 to find the y value associated to it, that it is the depth (h) of the reflector:
, solving for y

Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
12/6 is 2 and the the exponents when you are dividing you just subtract. so 9-3 = 6 which makes it x^6.
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The <span>system can be changed so that the two equations have equal x-coefficients by multiplying </span><span>both sides of the top equation by 2 resulting to 6x + 4y = 24. Hope this answers the question.</span>
