Check the picture below.
since the focus point is above the directrix, that simply means the parabola is a vertical one, and therefore the square variable is the "x".
keeping in mind that, there's a distance "p" from the vertex to either the focus point or the directrix, that puts the vertex half-way between those fellows, in this case at 0, right between 1 and -1, as you see in the picture, and the parabola looks like so.
since the parabola is opening upwards, the value for "p" is positive, thus
Answer:
x = 1 or x = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given;
- The quadratic equation, x² + 4x - 13 = -8
We are required to solve the equation using the completing square method.
To do this, we use the following steps;
Step 1: We make sure the coefficient of x² is one
x² + 4x - 13 = -8
Step 2: Combine the like terms (take the constant term to the other side)
x² + 4x - 13 = -8
x² + 4x = -8 + 13
we get
x² + 4x = 5
Step 3: We add the square of half the coefficient of x on both sides of the equation
Coefficient of x = 4
Half of coefficient of x = 2
Square of half the coefficient of x = 2² (4)
We get;
x² + 4x + (2²) = 5 + (2²)
Step 4: Put x and 2 under one square and the solve the other side of the equation.
We get
(x + 2)² = 5 + 4
(x + 2)² = 9
Step 5: Get the square root on both sides of the equation;
(x + 2)² = 9
√(x + 2)² = ±√9
(x + 2)= ±3
Therefore;
x+2 = + 3 or x + 2 = -3
Thus, x = 1 or -5
The solution of the equation is x = 1 or x = -5
T=7556=165x+2771
we need to solve for x, number of years after 1996.
165x=7556-2771=4785
x=4785/165=29
It will be in year 1996+29=2025 that estimated fees and tuition average $7556
Step-by-step explanation:
Angle 1 is 79
Angle 2 is 11.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of dimes be d and quarters be q
<u>The value is $8.80 = 880¢, so:</u>
- 10d + 25q = 880 ⇒ 2d + 5q = 176
<u>If the dimes were quarters and the quarters were dimes, the coins' total value would be $7.30 or 730¢</u>
- 25d + 10q = 730 ⇒ 5d + 2q = 146
<u>Now we have 2 equations. Solving the system by elimination, subtract 5 times the second equation from twice the first equation:</u>
- 2(2d + 5q) - 5(5d + 2q) = 2(176) - 5(146)
- 4d - 25d = -378
- -21d = -378
- d = -378/-21
- d = 18
