Answer:
The endpoints of the latus rectum are 
and 
.
Step-by-step explanation:
A parabola with vertex at point 
and whose axis of symmetry is parallel to the y-axis is defined by the following formula:
(1)
Where:
- Independent variable.
- Dependent variable.
- Distance from vertex to the focus.
, 
- Coordinates of the vertex.
The coordinates of the focus are represented by:
(2)
The <em>latus rectum</em> is a line segment parallel to the x-axis which contains the focus. If we know that 
, 
and 
, then the latus rectum is between the following endpoints:
By (2):
By (1):
There are two solutions:
Hence, the endpoints of the latus rectum are and .
Answer:
The linear function that discribes the size of the population in function of the t in years is p = 700t - 1,397,300
Step-by-step explanation:
A linear function is defined by a line, so in order to determine the linear function we can use the two points that were given to us to create a line equation and use that as our linear function. The points given to us were (2009; 9000) and (2014; 12500), in this case the year is our value of "x" and the size of the population is our value of "y". The first step is to find the slope of the line which is given by:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (12500 -9000)/(2014 - 2009) = 3500/5 = 700
Then we can use the slope and the first point to build the equation:
p - 9000 = 700*(t - 2009)
p = 700t - 1406300 + 9000
p = 700t - 1397300

u = 72 km/hr
Can't sketch the graph, but can describe it.
The Y-axis will be the distance. At the origin it will be 0, and at the highest point it will have the value of 120. The X-axis will be time in minutes. At the origin it will be 0 and at the rightmost point, it will be 160. The graph will consist of 3 line segments. They are
1. A segment from (0,0) to (80,60)
2. A segment from (80,60) to (110,60)
3. A segment from (110,60) to (160,120)
The motorist originally intended on driving for 2 2/3 hours to travel 120 km. So divide the distance by the time to get the original intended speed.
120 km / 8/3 = 120 km * 3/8 = 360/8 = 45 km/hr
After traveling for 80 minutes (half of the original time allowed), the motorist should be half of the way to the destination, or 120/2 = 60km. Let's verify that.
45 * 4/3 = 180/3 = 60 km.
So we have a good cross check that our initial speed was correct. v = 45 km/hr
Now having spent 30 minutes fixing the problem, out motorist now has 160-80-30 = 50 minutes available to travel 60 km. So let's divide the distance by time:
60 / 5/6 = 60 * 6/5 = 360/5 = 72 km/hr
So the 2nd leg of the trip was at a speed of 72 km/hr</span>
10 kilometers is equal to a little over 6 miles. And 6 > 5, therefore 10 kilometers is your answer.
