The conic that represents the equation y² = 10x is a parabola

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation for any conic section is

Ax² + Bxy + Cy² + Dx + Ey + F = 0, where A, B, C, D, E and F are

constants

1. If B² - 4AC < 0, if a conic exists, it will be either a circle or an ellipse,

if A and C are equal then it is a circle, if not then it is an ellipse

2. If B² - 4AC = 0, if a conic exists, it will be a parabola

3. If B² - 4AC > 0, if a conic exists, it will be a hyperbola

∵ The equation is y² = 10x

- Subtract 10x from both sides

∴ y² - 10x = 0

∴ A = 0 , B = 0 , C = 1 , D = -10 , E = 0 and F = 0

∵ B² - 4AC = (0)² - 4(0)(1) = 0

∴ B² - 4AC = 0

∴ The conic is parabola

The conic that represents the equation y² = 10x is a parabola

Because of a problem in the program, the timer in a video player did not begin counting until the video had been playing for sev

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

105 frames

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

At 0 seconds, the video had already played 190 frames and there are 25 frames being played per second.

When the time is equal to $3 \dfrac{2}{5}$ , the number of frames that are already being played is:

$= 3 \dfrac{2}{5} \times 25$

$= \dfrac{17}{5} \times 25$

= 17 × 5

= 85 frames.

But recall that, the frames had already played 190 frames at 0 seconds, then the number of frames that had already been played when the time is equal to $3 \dfrac{2}{5}$ is;

=(190 - 85) frames

= 105 frames

Answer:

1276.19553 $m^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find height using Pythagoras thorem.

a= $\sqrt{20^2+12.5^2}$

a=15.61

Then use the formula to find the surface area of a cone.

π•12.5•(12.5+ $\sqrt{15.61^2+12.5^2}$ )=1276.19553 $m^{2}$

Arisa [49]

There are 26 possible lowercase letters, 26 possible uppercase letters, and 10 possible numbers (0-9). 26+26+10=62 That means there's a 1/62 chance that they get one letter right. But there's 15 letters. They're chance would decrease each time to get it exact. 1/62 divided by 15/1 = 1/832 So there is a 1 in 832 chance that the hacker guesses it correct first try with that information.
