What is the equation of the quadratic graph with a focus of (5, 6) and a directrory of y = 2?

1 answer:

4 0

The vertex of the graph is at (5, (6 + 2)/2) = (5, 4)
The equation of a quadratic graph is given by y - k = 4p(x - h)^2, where (h, k) is the vertex, p is the distance from the vertex to the focus.
Here, (h, k) = (5, 4) and p = 6 - 2 = 2 and since the focus is on top of the directrix, the parabola is facing up and the value of p is positive.
Therefore, the required equation is y - 4 = 4(2)(x - 5)^2
y - 4 = 8(x^2 - 10x + 25)
y - 4 = 8x^2 - 80x + 200
y = 8x^2 - 80x + 204

Which expression can be used to find the length of AT?

irina [24]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\large\boxed{\overline{AT}=12.5(cos66\º)}}$

Explanation:

In a right triangle the angle between the hypotenuse and the adjacent leg to the angle are related by the trigonometric ratio cosine.

Cosine is the ratio of the adjacent leg to the hypotenuse:

In the right triangle ART, AT is the hypotenuse, AR is the ajacent leg to the angle 66º, and RT is the opposite leg to the angle 66º.

Then, the length of AT and 12.5 is related by the cosine ratio:

$cos(66\º)=\dfrac{\overline{AT}}{12.5}$

Multiplying both sides of the equation by 12.5in:

$\overline{AT}=12.5(cos66\º)$ ← answer

8. WRITE Math Explain how to determine if a given rate is also a unit rate.<br> This is hard help :c

patriot [66]

When rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 2 feet per second or 5 miles per hour, they are called unit rates. If you have a multiple-unit rate such as 120 students for every 3 buses, and want to find the single-unit rate, write a ratio equal to the multiple-unit rate with 1 as the second term.
