Answer:

Vertex: (0, 0); Focus: (0, -4); Directrix: y = 4; Focal width: 16 ⇒ answer (a)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise some facts about the parabola

- Standard form equation for a parabola of vertex at (0 , 0)

- If the equation is in the form  x² =  4py, then  

- The axis of symmetry is the y-axis,  x = 0  

- 4p  equal to the coefficient of y in the given equation to

  solve for  p

- If  p  >  0, the parabola opens up.

- If  p <  0, the parabola opens down.

- Use  p  to find the coordinates of the focus,  (0  ,  p)

- Use  p  to find equation of the directri ,   y= − p

- Use  p  to find the endpoints of the focal diameter,  (±2p  ,  p)

* Now lets solve the problem

- The vertex of the parabola is (0 , 0)

∵ -1/16x² = y ⇒ multiply each side by -16

∴ x² = -16y

∴ 4p = -16 ⇒ ÷ 4 tbe both sides

∴ p = -4

∵ The focus is (0 , p)

∴ The focus is (0 , -4)

∵ The directrix is y = -p

∴ The directrix is y = -(-4) = 4 ⇒ y = 4

∵ The endpoints of the focal diameter,  (±2p  ,  p)

∴ The focal width = 2p - (-2p) = 4p

∴ The focal width = 4 ×  I-4I = 16

* Vertex: (0, 0); Focus: (0, -4); Directrix: y = 4; Focal width: 16

Lila is building a slide for her kids. The ladder is 3 meters tall and the slide is 5 meters long. What is the distance between
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: For a problem like this, it’s best to use Pythagorean Theorem which is a^2+b^2=c^2 .

In this problem they gave us a and c already so we are trying to find b.

3^2+?=5^2

9+?=25

25-9=16

Find the square root of 16 which is 4

Answer: The distance between the ladder and the slide is 4 meters

A package of 5 crackers contains 205 Calories. How many Calories are in one cracker using a double number line
natulia [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

since there are 205 calories in 5 crackers we can represent this as

205/5

we need to find how many calories are in one cracker, so lets take "x" as the # of calories in 1 cracker

so

\frac{x}{1} =\frac{205}{5}

cross multiply

5x=205

divide by 5 on both sides

x=41

41 calories in 1 cracker

How many years will it take for the account to reach $18,600? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth
Margarita [4]
 <span>it depends how the interest is calculated, but there's not much of a difference 

assuming its continuously compouned, you use this formula: A(t)=Pe^(rt), where A is the final amount, P is the initial investment, r is the interest, and t is the time in years 

you want to find t such that A(t)=18,600 so 18,600=1000e^(.0675t) 

you need to use logarithm to figure it out, take the natural log of both sides 

the following properties will come into use: 

ln(a*b)=ln(a)+ln(b) 
ln(a^b)=bln(a) 
ln(e)=1 

taking the natural log 

ln(18,600)=ln(1000e^(.0675t)) 

ln(18,600)=ln(1000)+ln(e^.0675t) 

ln(18600)=ln(1000) + .0675t 

now solve for t: t= (ln(18600)-ln(1000))/.0675 

t=43.31</span>
