Check the picture below.  So the parabola looks more or less like so.

let's recall that the vertex is half-way between the focus point and the directrix, at "p" units away from both.

Let's notice that the focus point is below the directrix, that means the parabola is vertical, namely the squared variable is the "x", and it also means that it's opening downwards as  you see in the picture, namely that "p" is negative, in this case "p" is 1 unit, and thus is -1.

\bf \textit{parabola vertex form with focus point distance} \\\\ \begin{array}{llll} 4p(x- h)=(y- k)^2 \\\\ \stackrel{\textit{we'll use this one}}{4p(y- k)=(x- h)^2} \end{array} \qquad \begin{array}{llll} vertex\ ( h, k)\\\\ p=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\ \qquad \textit{ focus or directrix} \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \begin{cases} h=-2\\ k=5\\ p=-1 \end{cases}\implies 4(-1)(y-5)=[x-(-2)]^2\implies -4(y-5)=(x+2)^2 \\\\\\ y-5=-\cfrac{1}{4}(x+2)^2\implies y=-\cfrac{1}{4}(x+2)^2+5

The answer is 15%

Explanation:

Team A has 42 members and team b has 18 more than team A so team b has 60 members. In order for the teams to be equal, there’d need to be 51 people on each team(60+42/2=51). There are 9 extra people on team b, so we need 9/60 , divide and you get 15%.

The measures of the angles between the resultant and two applied forces are 26° and
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

  48.8 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

The forces can be modeled by a triangle with acute angles 20° and 26°, and obtuse angle 134° opposite a side of length 80. The larger component force will be opposite the angle 26°, and can be found using the Law of Sines:

  a/sin(A) = c/sin(C)

  x/sin(26°) = 80/sin(134°)

  x = 80sin(26°)/sin(134°) ≈ 48.753 . . . . pounds

The larger component force is about 48.8 pounds.
