What is the equation of a parabola with a directrix x = 8 and focus (-8,0)

1 answer:

7 0

From the given information, the parabola is a sideways parabola facing left with vertex at the origin.
Required equation is (y - 0)^2 = 4p(x - 0)
y^2 = 4px

But 0 + p = -8 => p = -8

Therefore, required equation is y^2 = 4(-8)x
y^2 = -32x

At the beginning of each of her four years in college, Miranda took out a new Stafford loan. Each loan had a principal of $5,500

kaheart [24]

Answer:

D. $31,337.27

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the initial amount of the loan is $5500.

Miranda took the loan for 4 years. So, the total present value is $5500×4 = $22,000.

The rate of interest on the loan is 7.5% i.e. 0.075 and it was for the duration of 10 years.

Also, it is given that the loan was compounded annually.

We have the formula as,

$P=\frac{\frac{r}{n}\times PV}{1-(1+\frac{r}{n})^{-t\times n}}$

i.e. $PV=\frac{P\times [1-(1+\frac{r}{n})^{-t\times n}]}{\frac{r}{n}}$

Substituting the values, we get,

i.e. $PV=\frac{P\times [1-(1+\frac{0.075}{12})^{-10\times 12}]}{\frac{0.075}{12}}$

i.e. $22000=\frac{P\times [1-(1+0.00625)^{-120}]}{0.00625}$

i.e. $22000=\frac{P\times [1-(1.00625)^{-120}]}{0.00625}$

i.e. $22000=\frac{P\times [1-0.4735]}{0.00625}$

i.e. $22000=\frac{P\times 0.5265}{0.00625}$

i.e. $P=\frac{22000\times 0.00625}{0.5265}$

i.e. $P=\frac{137.5}{0.5265}$

i.e. $P=261.16$

Thus, the total lifetime cost to pay of the loans compounded annually = 261.16 × 120 = $31,339.2

Hence, the total cost close to the answer is $31,337.27

Triangle G F E is cut by line segment H J. Line segment H J goes from side G E to F E. The length of G F is 4 x minus 4, the len

alexira [117]

Answer:

HJ = 8 JE = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

it is given that H is the midpoint of GE and J is the midpoint of FE. According to the midpoint theorem the line segment connecting the midpoint of two sides is parallel to the three side and its length is half of the third side. since JH is connecting the midpoints.

HJ= 1/2 (GF)

x + 3 = 1/2 (4x - 4)

x + 3 = 2x - 2

x = 5

^ Thus meaning the value of x is 5.

Now you just fill into your equations:

HJ = x + 3 = (5) + 3 = 8

JE = x - 1 = (5) - 1 = 4

Therefore, HJ = 8; JE = 4.
