Show that if the point with coordinates (x,y) is equidistant from the point (2,0) and the line y=−4, then y=1/8(x-2)²-2.

Answer:

The demonstration is showed below

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance betwenn two points is given by:

d = \sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}

If the point is equidistant from a point and a line, the distance must be equal. For the line let's select the point (x,-4), because the distance will be ortogonal, and is the small distance between a point and a line. So:

\sqrt{(x-2)^2+(y-0)^2}  = \sqrt{(x-x)^2+(y+4)^2}

Removing the squares:

(x-2)² + y² = (y+4)²

(x-2)² + y² = y² + 8y + 16

y² - y² - 8y = 16 - (x-2)²

8y = (x-2)² - 16

y = (1/8)*(x-2)² - 16/8

y = (1/8)*(x-2)² - 2

Ben, Bob and Bill are triplets. They were born 5 years before their sister, Stephanie. This year the product of their four ages
maria [59]

Let the triplets' age be x, the sister's age is then x-5. 
product of their age as given 
xÂł.(x-5)=75749+x+x+x+x-5
 x^4 - 5xÂł= 4x +75744
 x^4 - 5xÂł -4x -75744=0
 resolving the equation,
 we get 
 x = 18 
 therefore, Age of ben,bob and bill is 18
 so , age of stephanie is x-5 = 18-5 = 13
 stephanie is 13 years old.

help please! what is the equation of the line described below written in slope-intercept form? the line passing through point (4
Lunna [17]
For perpendicular lines, m1m2 = -1 or m2 = -1/m1; where m1 and m2 are the slopes of the lines.
Here line 1 is 2x - y - 7 = 0
y = 2x - 7; Hence m1 = 2
m2 = -1/2
Required equation y - y1 = m2(x - x1)
y - (-1) = -1/2(x - 4)
y + 1 = -1/2x + 2
y = -1/2x + 2 - 1
y = -1/2x + 1
