Easy

compare
y²=4px vs
y²=-4x

y²=y²
4px=-4x
divide both sides by x
4p=-4
divide both sides by 4
p=-1

p=-1

Answer:

p= -1

Explanation:

We have been given parabola along positive side of x-axis with equation

$y^2=4px\\\\and\\\\y^2=-4x$

after equating the values of $y^{2}$ we will get

4px =-4x

Divide each term by x on both left hand side and right hand side we will get

4p= -4

Now, divide each term by 4 on both left hand side and right hand side we will get the final result p=-1

Find the area and perimeter of the square 6 meters

Mkey [24]

The formula for finding area of a square is:

$length \times width$

In a square, all the sides are the same. Each side is 6 meters long. Plug in 6 to the formula.

$length \times width \rightarrow 6 \times 6$

Multiply:

$6 \times 6 = 36$

The area of the square is 36 m²

<h2>PERIMETER</h2>

Perimeter is the distance around a shape. To find perimeter, you have to add all all the side lengths. The formula for finding perimeter is:

$2(l) \times 2(w)$

Remember that squares have 4 sides, and all length(s) and width(s) measure the same. The length and width measure the same. Plug in the numbers into the formula:

$2(l) + 2(w) \rightarrow 2(6) + 2(6)$

Simplify:

$2(6) + 2(6) = 12 + 12$

Add:

$12 + 12 = 24$

The perimeter of the square is 24 m

132 days to 125.4 days percent of change

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

132 days to 125.4 days percent of change

Step-by-step explanation:

p= N-O/O x 100% where p is the percent change, is the New value and O is

the Old value. We are given the Old value (132) and the New value (125.4) which we can substitute into the formula to calculate the percent change:

p= 125.4-132/132 x 100%

p= -6.6/132 x 100%

p= (-660/132%)

p= -5%
