The cross section of a parabolic reflector has a vertical axis of symmetry with its vertex at (0,0) . The focus of the reflector

is 6 feet above the vertex. The reflector extends 4.5 feet to either side of the vertex. What is the depth of the reflector? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer:

The depth of the reflector is 0.84 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>(See the figure below)</em>

The equation of a parabola centered at the origin with an axis of symmetry on y-axis is:

x^{2}=4py (1)

With p the distance from the origin to the focus using p=6, the equation (1) of the parabola becomes:

x^{2}=4(6)y=24y (2)

Note that the point B is on the parabola, so this point should satisfy the parabola equation (2) that allow us to use the value x=4.5 to find the y value associated to it, that it is the depth (h) of the reflector:

(4.5)^{2}=24y, solving for y

y=\frac{(4.5)^{2}}{24}\approx0.84\,ft

30÷10 divide until you find the ten thousand digit
klemol [59]

Answer:

The ten thousandth digit would be 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

30/10=3

3 is a whole number so there would be no decimal which means that in the ten thousandth place would be 0

30/10=3.0000

HURRY!!!!!!!!!<br><br> Given P(5,10,8) and Q(7,11,10), find the midpoint of the segment PQ.
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

P_{m}=(6,10.5,9)

Step-by-step explanation:

The mid point can be found with the formula

P_{m}=(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2} }{2},\frac{y_{1} +y_{2} }{2} ,\frac{z_{1}+z_{2}  }{2} )

The given coordinates are P(5,10,8) and Q(7,11,10).

Replacing coordinates in the formula, we have

P_{m}=(\frac{5+7}{2},\frac{10+11 }{2} ,\frac{8+10}{2} )=(\frac{12}{2},\frac{21 }{2} ,\frac{18}{2} )\\P_{m}=(6,10.5,9)

Therefore, the mid point of the segment PQ is P_{m}=(6,10.5,9)

Brandon says to get that shade of green, 6 pints of yellow paint need to be added to the bucket. Bianca says that won't work. In
Ksenya-84 [330]
<span>There are 2 pints of blue and 2 pints of yellow in the bucket.
To be 80% yellow, the new color will be (100%-80%=) 20% blue.

2 pints is 20% of (2 pints/0.20=) 10 pints. 
With 4 pints in the bucket, to make 10 pints you should add 
(10 pints-4 pints=) 6 more pints of yellow paint.

ANSWER: You should add 6 pints of yellow to the 4 pints of green in the bucket to make the new color that is 80% yellow.</span>
