A parabola can be drawn given a focus of

Volgvan

Answer:

$y=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2)^{2}+9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Any point on a given parabola is equidistant from focus and directrix.

Given:

Focus of the parabola is at $(2,8)$ .

Directrix of the parabola is $y=10$ .

Let $(x,y)$ be any point on the parabola. Then, from the definition of a parabola,

Distance of $(x,y)$ from focus = Distance of $(x,y)$ from directrix.

Therefore,

$\sqrt{(x-2)^{2}+(y-8)^{2}}=|y-10|$

Squaring both sides, we get

$(x-2)^{2}+(y-8)^{2}=(y-10)^{2}\\(x-2)^{2}=(y-10)^{2}-(y-8)^{2}\\(x-2)^{2}=(y-10+y-8)(y-10-(y-8))...............[\because a^{2}-b^{2}=(a+b)(a-b)]\\(x-2)^{2}=(2y-18)(y-10-y+8)\\(x-2)^{2}=2(y-9)(-2)\\(x-2)^{2}=-4(y-9)\\y-9=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2)^{2}\\y=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2)^{2}+9$

Hence, the equation of the parabola is $y=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2)^{2}+9$ .

Can h help with this?

The Answer would be p(m)=25+10 because she started with a base pay of 10 dollars and the next lawn she charge 35 meaning it makes the rate of change 25

A waffle cone has a height of 7 inches and a diameter of 3 inches. What is the volume of ice cream that can be contained within

Nata [24]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

To find the volume of a cone, we multiply the base by the height and then divide by three.

First, we find the area of the base, which is a circle. To find a circle, you square the radius and then multiply by pi (or 3.14 in our case).

Radius is half of the diameter.

3/2=1.5

We square this.

1.5²=2.25

We multiply by 3.14
