Deanna is adjusting a satellite because she finds it is not focusing the incoming radio waves perfectly. The shape of her satell

ite can be modeled by x^2=12y where x and y are modeled in inches. She realizes that the static is a result of the feed antenna shifting slightly off the focus point. What is the focus point of the satellite?

Answer:

The shape of satellite which is in the shape of parabola, opening upwards is, x^2=12 y, having vertex (0,0).

Comparing with general equation of parabola

x^2=4 a y , having vertex (0,0) and focus (0,a).

Comparing the two above equation of parabola

4 a y = 12 y

4 a = 12

a=3

So, focus of the satellite which is in the shape of parabola=(0,3)

Haven't run across one with three terms. help? preferably explain how you got the answer too!!​
const2013 [10]

Answer:

c^3 + c^2 - 7c + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

First, expand the expression using distributive property.

c^2(c+4) - 3c(c+4) + 5(c+4)

c^3 + 4c^2 - 3c^2 - 12c + 5c + 20

Lastly, simplify like terms.

c^3 + c^2 - 7c + 20

Find the sum of 4x^3+2x^2-4x+3 and 7x^3-4x^2+7x+8
Alchen [17]

The sum means addition.

Add  the like terms together.

4x^3+2x^2-4x+3

+ 7x^3-4x^2+7x+8

4x^3 + 7x^3 = 11x^3

2x^2 + -4x^2 = -2x^2

-4x +7x = 3x

3 +8 = 11

The answer is : 11x^3 - 2x^2 + 3x + 11

Triangle A″B″C″ is formed using the translation (x + 2, y + 0) and the dilation by a scale factor of one half from the origin. W
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

  • A. segment A double prime B double prime = segment AB over 2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Triangle ABC with coordinates of:</u>

  • A = (-3, 3), B = (1, -3), C = (-3, -3)

<u>Translation (x + 2, y + 0), coordinates will be:</u>

  • A' = (-1, 3), B = ( 3, -3), C = (-1, -3)

<u>Dilation by a scale factor of 1/2 from the origin, coordinates will be:</u>

  • A'' = (-0.5, 1.5), B'' = (1.5, -1.5), C= (-0.5, -1.5)

<u>Let's find the length of AB and A''B'' using distance formula</u>

  • d = √(x2-x1)² + (y2 - y1)²
  • AB = √(1-(-3))² + (-3 -3)² = √4²+6² = √16+36 = √52 = 2√13
  • A''B'' = √(1.5 - (-0.5)) + (-1.5 - 1.5)² = √2²+3² = √13

<u>We see that </u>

  • AB = 2A''B''

<u>Now the answer options:</u>

A. segment A double prime B double prime = segment AB over 2

  • Correct

B. segment AB = segment A double prime B double prime over 2

  • Incorrect. Should be AB = A''B''*2

C. segment AB over segment A double prime B double prime = one half

  • Incorrect. Should be AB/A''B'' = 2

D. segment A double prime B double prime over segment AB = 2

  • Incorrect. Should be A''B''/AB = 1/2
