If the center is at (0, 0) and the vertex is at (20, 0), then the distance, a, is the length from the center to the vertex, 20.  The distance from the center to the focus is c.  The distance from the center to the focus is 16, so c = 16.  The formula we use to find the focus is c^2=a^2-b^2.  We have our c value and our a value, so we will sub in those to find b.  16^2=20^2-b^2 and 256 = 400 - b^2.  -b^2 = -144, so b = 12.  There you go!

One solution to a quadratic function, h, is given.
Margaret [11]

Answer:

B. The other solution to function h is -4-i\,7.

Step-by-step explanation:

From Algebra, we remember that quadratic functions of the form a\cdot x^{2}+b\cdot x + c has solutions of the form:

x = \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4\cdot a\cdot c}}{2\cdot a}, where both are complex if and only if \sqrt{b^{2}-4\cdot a \cdot c}< 0.

Hence, if one solution of the quadratic function is -4+i\,7, then the other solution is -4-i\,7. The correct answer is B.

<span>1) What is the equation for the line?
</span>slope = 16/2 = 8

answer
equation 
y = 8x

<span>2) What is the equation of a line with a slope of ​3​ and a point (3, 1) on the line?

Express the equation in the form of y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.


y - 1 = 3(x - 3)
y - 1 = 3x - 9
y = 3x - 8

answer
</span>y = 3x - 8

What is value of x?<br> Enter your answer in the box.
marin [14]

Answer:

x \ = \ 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let point D be the point where the straight line drawn from point A meets the straight line BC, it is evident that \triangle ABD and \triangle ACD is similar given that both triangles share the same angle, \angle BAD \ = \ \angle DAC. Hence, the ratio of the sides of each triangle is the same. Specifically,

                                              \displaystyle{\frac{x+4}{8} \ = \ \frac{2x+1}{12}}.

Performing cross multiplication yields

                                           12\left(x+4\right) \ = \ 8\left(2x+1\right) \\ \\ \rule{0.15cm}{0cm}12x+48 \ = \ 16x+8 \\ \\ \rule{1.1cm}{0cm} 4x \ = \ 40 \\ \\ \rule{1.3cm}{0cm} x \ = \ 10.
