\bf \qquad \textit{parabola vertex form}\\\\
\begin{array}{llll}
\boxed{y=a(x-{{ h}})^2+{{ k}}}\\\\
x=a(y-{{ k}})^2+{{ h}}
\end{array} \qquad\qquad  vertex\ ({{ h}},{{ k}})\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
y=a(x-(-4))^2-1\implies y=a(x+4)^2-1
\\\\\\
\textit{now, we also know that }
\begin{cases}
y=0\\
x=2
\end{cases}\implies \underline{0}=a(\underline{2}+4)^2-1

solve for "a"

Find BD.<br> help me pls
Anna [14]

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that Ar is the perpendicular bisector of chord BD. Since A is the center of the circle, AR is the radius of the circle, which is 10 (6+4)

Next, we can see that when we connect point A to point D, it is also a radius. Thus, AD is also equal to 10 as the radius of the circle remains the same.

Using Pythagoras theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2, we can make a right angled triangle of ACD.

AC = 6 = a

CD = ? = b

AD = 10 = c

10^2 = 6^2 + b^2

b^2 = 10^2 - 6^2 = 64

b = CD = 8

Now, since Ar is the perpendicular bisector of chord BD, BD = CD x 2

BD = 8 x 2 = <u>16</u>
