Well since we can use a base of 1 we know that 1 - 45 is less than 4 but -1 + 45 is not, which follows the assumption that x>0, but now we need to know what x is less than to fit the inequality. If we use 5 as a trial we can see that 5 - 9 = -4 so 0<x<5 is your answer. Hope this helps I basically used trial and error. If you want to check try 3 or 4 for x and it will work but 6 will not.
Because the focus is (-2,-2) and the directrix is y = -4, the vertex is (-2,-3).
Consider an arbitrary point (x,y) on the parabola.
The square of the distance between the focus and P is
(y+2)² + (x+2)²
The square of the distance from the point to the directrix is
(y+4)²
Therefore
(y+4)² = (y+2)² + (x+2)²
y² + 8y + 16 = y² + 4y + 4 + (x+2)²
4y = (x+2)² - 12
y = (1/4)(x+2)² - 3
Answer:
Answer:
The cost must be $32 since that is the only cost possible for the 1st deal
Step-by-step explanation:
Let C represent the total cost of each deal
Let T be the number of trips down the water slide
C = 32 for the 1st deal since the cost is the same regardless of how much she rides
C = 18 + T for the 2nd deal
To find when the two costs are equal set them equal to each other and solve for T
32 = 18 + T
T = 14 trips
The cost must be $32 since that is the only cost possible for the 1st deal
I think the answer would be 1.8
