Which is the equation of a parabola with a directrix at y = −3 and a focus at (5, 3)?

Answer:

y = 1/12 (x − 5)²

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this graphically without doing calculations.

The y component of the focus is y = 3.  Since this is above the directrix, we know this is an upward facing parabola, so it must have a positive coefficient.  That narrows the possible answers to A and C.

The x component of the focus is x = 5.  Since this is above the vertex, we know the x component of the vertex is also x = 5.

So the answer is A. y = 1/12 (x−5)².

But let's say this wasn't a multiple choice question and we needed to do calculations.  The equation of a parabola is:

y = 1/(4p) (x − h)² + k

where (h, k) is the vertex and p is the distance from the vertex to the focus.

The vertex is halfway between the focus and the directrix.  So p is half the difference of the y components:

p = (3 − (-3)) / 2

p = 3

k, the y component of the vertex, is the average:

k = (3 + (-3)) / 2

k = 0

And h, the x component of the vertex, is the same as the focus:

h = 5

So:

y = 1/(4×3) (x − 5)² + 0

y = 1/12 (x − 5)²

Count the number of 5-digit numbers (in the decimal system; integers from 10000 to 99999) which are not divisible by 11.
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

So total number which is not divisible by 11 = 89999-8181 = 81819  

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the total numbers which are not divisible by 11 from 10000 to 99999

Total number from 10000 to 99999 = 99999-10000+1=90000

Just after 10000 the number which is divisible by 11 is 10010

And just below 99999 the number which is divisible by 11 is 99990

Using AP formula

T_N=a+(n-1)d, here a is first term, d is common difference and n is number of terms

So 99990=10010+(n-1)11

n-1 = 8180

n= 8181

So total number which is not divisible by 11 = 90000-8181 = 81819
