X-27=-1
x represents unknown number
Step-by-step explanation:
the 60 preliminary published articles are a constant.
all the new articles are simply added to that to get the total number of published articles.
every months produces 12 more articles.
so,
m = 1 means a = 60 + 1×12 = 72
m = 3 means a = 60 + 3×12 = 60 + 36 = 96
m = 4 means a = 60 + 4×12 = 60 + 48 = 108
m = 9 means a = 60 + 9×12 = 60 + 108 = 168
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have a vertical directrix, the equation of the parabola is

Where p is the distance from the vertex to the directrix.
or the distance from the vertex to the focus.
Since we have a sideways parabola, let use the point for the directrix is (-6,0). So let find the midpoint of (-6,0) and (6,0). That would be our vertex.


So our vertex is (0,0).
So our equation become

The distance from the focus and directrix is 6.
So p=6.

So p is 6.
Since p is 6,

I just took the test and the correct answer is $19.25.
Step-by-step explanation:
(You might need to draw the triangle on a piece of paper to follow)
First I tried to find the height in terms of<em> a</em>.
If you draw the height in, the triangle is cut in half. That half triangle is a right triangle.
Using the Pythagoras theorem you can find out the height. Since you know that the hypotenuse is also <em>a </em>(because it's an equilateral triangle) the equation would be:
(a/2)² + h² = a²
Assuming that h = height
(It's a/2 because when you cut the triangle in half, the base of the right triangle became a/2)
This equation is simplified:
a²/4 + h² = a²
a² + 4h = 4a²
4h = 3a²
h² = 3a²/4
Now, remeber that everything is squared so it should be
h = a√3/2
Now we have the height. To get the area we need to multiply it by the base, which is <em>a, </em>and then divide it by 2<em>.</em>
a√3/2 × a ÷ 2
a²√3/2 ÷ 2
a²√3/4
And there you go. Thats the area.
