Answer:

The equation of parabola is given by:

(y-k)^2 = 4a(x-h)

where,

(h, k) is the vertex.

Focus = (h+a, k)

As per the statement:

A parabola has a vertex at (0,0).

⇒y^2 = 4ax

The focus of the parabola is located at (4,0).

⇒(h+a, k) = (4, 0)

⇒(a, 0) = (4, 0)

⇒a = 4

then, equation become:

y^2 = 16x

We have to find the equation of directrix

The equation of directrix is, x = h-a

then;

x = 0-4 = -4

⇒x = -4

Therefore, the equation of directrix is, x = -4

He will use more tiles because 1/3 is smaller than 1/2 and the smaller the tiles the more you need to fill the place up.

The population of two different villages is modeled by the equations shown
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Year = 1995 and population = 315

Year = 2015 and population = 715

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the population of two different villages is modeled by the given equations:

y=x^2-30x+540

y=20x+15

The population of both villages are same after x years after 1980 if

x^2-30x+540=20x+15

x^2-30x+540-20x-15=0

x^2-50x+525=0

Splitting the middle term, we get

x^2-15x-35x+525=0

x(x-15)-35(x-15)=0

(x-15)(x-35)=0

x=15,35

It means, after 15 or 35 years, the population will same.

For x=15, years is 1980+15=1995 and population is  

y=20(15)+15=315

For x=35, years is 1980+35=2015 and population is  

y=20(35)+15=715.

Therefore, population are equation in Year = 1995 and population = 315 or Year = 2015 and population = 715.
