Write an equation of a parabola that opens to the left, has a vertex at the origin, and a focus at (–9, 0.

1 answer:

8 0

The standard equation of parabola:

(y-k)²=4p(x-h), with:

a) vertex = (h,k)

b) focus = (h+p, k)

c) directrix = (x=h-p)

Since this parabola has a vertex at (0,0) that means h=k=0

Hence the equation becomes: y²=4px, let's calculate p:
focus is given (-9,0) Remember h+p = -9 & since h=0, then p= -9
===> y²= - 36x

Jake plans to use a ramp to make it easier to move a piano out of the back of his truck. The back of the truck is 83 centimeters

storchak [24]

Answer:

134.4 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is asking us for a missing leg on the triangle, lets call it x. Using the Pythagorean theorem (a²+b²=c²), we can figure out what value is missing (either a or b, they are interchangeable).

replace the values in the equation.

83²+x²=158²

get rid of the exponents.

6,889+ x² = 24,964.

subtract 6,889 from 24,964.

x²=18,075.

find the square root on both sides of the equation.

x=134.4432966.

I am assuming you want this rounded to the nearest tenth.

134.4 is your answer.

6) (after 2.3) Consider the infinite system of linear equations in two variables given by ax + by = 0 where (a, b) moves along t

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given infinite system of linear equations is ax + by = 0

when (a,b) moves along unit circle in plane.

a) system having unique system (0, 0)

Since two of equation in thus system will be

$1.x+0.y=0\\x=0$

and

$0.x+1.y=0\\y=0$

It is clear that x = 0, y= 0 is the only solution

b) Linear independent solution in this system gives some set of solutions

$1.x+0.y=0\\\x=0$

and

$0.x+1.y=0\\y=0$

Vector form is

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0\\0&1\end{array}\right] =I$

c) for this equation if add 0x +0y = 0 to system , Nothing will change

Because [0,0] satisfies that equation

d) If one of the equation is ax + by = 0.00001

where 0.00001 is small positive number

so, the system will be inconsistent

Therefore, the system will have no solution.

A used car dealer sells SUVs and cars. Of all the vehicles, 90% are cars. Of all the vehicles 40% are red cars. What is the prob

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

44.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate this, we proceed as follows.

we use the probability equation below;

P(A|B) = P(A and B) / P(B)

Applying the above to the scenario at hand;

P(red | car) = P(red and car) / P(car)

P(red and car) = 40% or simply 40/100 = 0.4

P(car) = 90% = 90/100 = 0.9

P(red | car) = 0.4/0.9

P(red | car) = 0.4444 which is = 44.44% ; to the nearest tenth of a percent = 44.4%
