You add up all of the sides
Answer:
9 in approx
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
given data
the shape of the satellite dish takes the form of a paraboloid.
the diameter of the dish is 38in wide
and 10 inches deep.
step two:
The expression for the paraboloid is

where y is the vertical axis of the paraboloid
a is vertex to focus.
and x is the radius of the dish
x= 38/2= 19in
substituting we have

divide both sides by 40

vertex to focus= 9 in approx
Answer:
y = mx+b is the equation for slope-intercept form
Step-by-step explanation:
m=slope
x=independent variable
y= y-intercept
Step #1 for both: figure out which interval your x-value fits into.
For f(-2), x=-2 and -2 fits with x ≤ -2, the top interval.
For f(3), x=3 and 3 fits into -2 < x ≤ 3, the middle interval.
Step #2 for both, plug in your x-value to the piece of the function that fits with that interval.
For f(-2), we know x≤-2, so we use 2x+8 to evaluate x=-2.
For f(3), we know -2
f(-2) = 2(-2)+8 = -4+8 = 4
f(3) = (3)^2 -3 = 9-3 = 6
