You are given a positive number p, but you are not told what the specific value of p is. A vertical light beam comes from high

above the plot of f[x] = x^2/(4 p) and bounces off the curve at a given point point {a, f[a]}. You are not told what the specific value of a is. Calculate in terms of p the point at which the reflected beam crosses the y-axis.

Answer:

(x, y) = (0, p)

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given equation, p is the distance from the vertex (0, 0) to the focus of the parabola. Any vertical "light beam" will bounce off the curve and pass through the focus at (0, p).

Can I get help with this

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

X = 60

Y = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

The total degrees of a triangle is 180 degrees. For the middle triangle, 50+70=120 so 180-120=60.

On the far right, Y=50 because you take 50 degrees from the middle triangle, and insert it there.

2.40

5.40-2.40= 3 (price of 2 sodas)
8.70 - 7.20 = 1.5 (price of 1 soda)
The soda prices match up so a hamburger is 2.40

Rose and Andrew are financing 128,000 to purchase a condominium. They obtained a 15 year fixed rate loan with a rate of 5.05%. T

anzhelika [568]

Amount Financed(P) = $ 128,000

Time = 15 year

Rate of interest= 5.05%

Amount after 15 years translates to,

${\text{Using the formula}} P(1+\frac{R}{100})^n\\\\ 128,000(1 +\frac{5.05}{100})^{15}\\\\ =128,000 \times (1.0505)^{15}\\\\=128,000 \times 2.0938\\\\=268,009.890$

Rose and Andrew has taken four points to lower their rate to 4.81% .

Amount after 15 years translates to, if rate of interest is 4.83 %

${\text{Using the formula}} P(1+\frac{R}{100})^n\\\\ 128,000(1 +\frac{4.83}{100})^{15}\\\\ =128,000 \times (1.0483)^{15}\\\\=128,000 \times 2.0290\\\\=259713.0404$

Cost of four points = 268,009.890 - 259,713.0404

= $8296.8496

Find a set of parametric equations for y= 5x + 11, given the parameter t= 2 – x

Sati [7]

Answer:

$x = 2-t$ and $y = -5\cdot t +21$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that $y = 5\cdot x + 11$ and $t = 2-x$ , the parametric equations are obtained by algebraic means:

1) $t = 2-x$ Given

2) $y = 5\cdot x +11$ Given

3) $y = 5\cdot (x\cdot 1)+11$ Associative and modulative properties

4) $y = 5\cdot \left[(-1)^{-1} \cdot (-1)\right]\cdot x +11$ Existence of multiplicative inverse/Commutative property

5) $y = [5\cdot (-1)^{-1}]\cdot [(-1)\cdot x]+11$ Associative property

6) $y = -5\cdot (-x)+11$ $\frac{a}{-b} = -\frac{a}{b}$ / $(-1)\cdot a = -a$

7) $y = -5\cdot (-x+0)+11$ Modulative property

8) $y = -5\cdot [-x + 2 + (-2)]+11$ Existence of additive inverse

9) $y = -5 \cdot [(2-x)+(-2)]+11$ Associative and commutative properties

10) $y = (-5)\cdot (2-x) + (-5)\cdot (-2) +11$ Distributive property

11) $y = (-5)\cdot (2-x) +21$ $(-a)\cdot (-b) = a\cdot b$

12) $y = (-5)\cdot t +21$ By 1)

13) $y = -5\cdot t +21$ $(-a)\cdot b = -a \cdot b$ /Result

14) $t+x = (2-x)+x$ Compatibility with addition

15) $t +(-t) +x = (2-x)+x +(-t)$ Compatibility with addition

16) $[t+(-t)]+x= 2 + [x+(-x)]+(-t)$ Associative property

17) $0+x = (2 + 0) +(-t)$ Associative property

18) $x = 2-t$ Associative and commutative properties/Definition of subtraction/Result

In consequence, the right answer is $x = 2-t$ and $y = -5\cdot t +21$ .
