Step-by-step explanation:

$1.\ \dfrac{x}{16}=\dfrac{45}{40}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\40x=(16)(45)\\\\40x=720\qquad\text{divide both sides by 40}\\\\\boxed{x=18}\\\\======================$

$2.\ \dfrac{x}{5}=\dfrac{1}{4}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\4x=(1)(5)\\\\4x=5\qquad\text{divide both sides by 5}\\\\\boxed{x=\dfrac{4}{5}}\\\\======================$

$3.\ \dfrac{2.5}{10}=\dfrac{x}{50}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\10x=(2.5)(50)\\\\10x=75\qquad\text{divide both sides by 10}\\\\\boxed{x=7.5}\\\\======================$

$4.\ \dfrac{x}{6}=\dfrac{2}{9}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\9x=(6)(2)\\\\9x=12\qquad\text{divide both sides by 9}\\\\x=\dfrac{12}{9}\\\\x=\dfrac{12:3}{9:3}\\\\\boxed{x=\dfrac{4}{3}}$

The population of a city in 2005 was 18,000. By 2010, the city’s population had grown to 32,800. If the population growth follow

andrezito [222]

<span>Well,

the rate is (32,800 - 18,000) = 14,800 per 5 years
therefore :
in 2015 = 2010 + 5 years
the pop. will be :
32,800 + 14,800 = 47,600

hope it' ll help !!</span>

Find the standard form of the equation of the parabola with a focus at (-2, 0) and a directrix at x = 2.

krok68 [10]

Answer:

$y^2=\frac{1}{8}x$

Step-by-step explanation:

The focus lies on the x axis and the directrix is a vertical line through x = 2. The parabola, by nature, wraps around the focus, or "forms" its shape about the focus. That means that this is a "sideways" parabola, a "y^2" type instead of an "x^2" type. The standard form for this type is

$(x-h)=4p(y-k)^2$

where h and k are the coordinates of the vertex and p is the distance from the vertex to either the focus or the directrix (that distance is the same; we only need to find one). That means that the vertex has to be equidistant from the focus and the directrix. If the focus is at x = -2 y = 0 and the directrix is at x = 2, midway between them is the origin (0, 0). So h = 0 and k = 0. p is the number of units from the vertex to the focus (or directrix). That means that p=2. We fill in our equation now with the info we have:

$(x-0)=4(2)(y-0)^2$
