Answer:

x - 0.8y

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

x= -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Rational Function can be expressed as:

\displaystyle \large{y =  \frac{a}{p(x - b)}  + q}

Where b is our horizontal shift and q is our vertical shift.

For asymptotes, there are two types which are vertical and horizontal.

Vertical Asymtote is the value of -b itself or x = -b.

Therefore, from the functio:

\displaystyle   \large{y =  \frac{10}{x + 2} }

Our vertical asymtote is x = -2

Prove algebraically that the recurring decimal 0.72 =8/11
miskamm [114]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

We require 2 equations with the recurring decimal placed after the decimal point.

let x = 0.7272.... (1) ← multiply both sides by 100

100x = 72.7272... (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) thus eliminating the recurring decimal

99x = 72 ( divide both sides by 99 )

x = \frac{72}{99} = \frac{8}{11}

-5/7÷30/-4<br> What is the full explanation on how to work out this problem?
jasenka [17]

Answer:

1/168

Step-by-step explanation:

First, solve for the numerator.

-5/7÷30

-5/7÷30/1

(use keep, change flip)

-5/7x1/30=-5/210

-5/210=-1/42

Now use keep change flip again

-1/42÷-4/1

-1/42*-1/4=1/168

Any point on the parabola can be labeled (x,y) as shown.
Sonja [21]

Answer:

Part A)

2nd and 5th choice.

Part B)

\displaystyle y=-\frac{1}{4}x^2-\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{3}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

For the given parabola, our focus is (-3, 2), and our directrix is given by y = 4.

Part A)

We are given a point (x, y) on the parabola.

Since our directrix is an equation of <em>y</em>, the distance from (x, y) to the directrix will simply be the absolute value of the difference in y-values. So:

d_1=|y-4|=|4-y|

Recall the distance formula:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2

Our distance from (x, y) to the focus (-3, 2) can be determined using the distance formula. Let (x, y) be (x₂, y₂) and let our focus (-3, 2) be (x₁, y₁). Therefore:

d_2=\sqrt{(x-(-3))^2+(y-2)^2}=\sqrt{(x+3)^2+(y-2)^2

Hence, for Part A, our answers are the 2nd and 5th choices.

Part B)

Recall that by the definition of a parabola, any point (x, y) on it is equidistant to the directrix and focus. Hence:

\sqrt{(x+3)^2+(y-2)^2}=|y-4|

Solve for <em>y</em>. Square both sides. We may remove the absolute value since anything squared is positive:

(x+3)^2+(y-2)^2=(y-4)^2

Square:

x^2+6x+9+y^2-4y+4=y^2-8y+16

Rearrange:

(x^2+6x+13)+(-16)=(y^2-y^2)+(-8y+4y)

Combine like terms:

x^2+6x-3=-4y

Divide both sides by -4. Hence, our equation is:

\displaystyle y=-\frac{1}{4}x^2-\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{3}{4}
