Answer:

  4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola with its vertex at the origin can be written as ...

  y = 1/(4p)x^2

The problem statement tells us that one point on the parabola is (x, y) = (12, 9). We can put these values into the equation and solve for p, the distance from the focus to the vertex.

  9 = 1/(4p)(12^2)

  9×4/144 = 1/p = 1/4 . . . . . . . . multiply by the inverse of the coefficient of 1/p

Then p = 4, and the bulb is 4 cm from the vertex.

7x² + 6x - 1<br> Algebra 3|factoring
GaryK [48]

Answer:

(7 x - 1) (x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the following:

7 x^2 + 6 x - 1

Factor the quadratic 7 x^2 + 6 x - 1. The coefficient of x^2 is 7 and the constant term is -1. The product of 7 and -1 is -7. The factors of -7 which sum to 6 are -1 and 7. So 7 x^2 + 6 x - 1 = 7 x^2 + 7 x - x - 1 = (7 x - 1) + x (7 x - 1):

(7 x - 1) + x (7 x - 1)

Factor 7 x - 1 from (7 x - 1) + x (7 x - 1):

Answer: (7 x - 1) (x + 1)
