Answer: There are 10 largest number of curtains she can make if she wants all the curtains to be exactly the same length.

There are 5 red fabrics and 11 gold fabrics that would be used for each curtain.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of yards of red fabric purchased by Jane = 50

Number of yards of gold fabric purchased by Jane = 110

We need to find the largest number of curtains she can make if she wants all the curtains to be exactly the same length.

For this we will find H.C.F. of 50 and 110.

Factors of 50 = 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50.

Factors of 110 = 1, 2, 5, 10, 11, 22, 55, 110.

So, Highest common factor of 50 and 110 is 10.

So, there are 10 largest number of curtains she can make if she wants all the curtains to be exactly the same length.

Number of yards of red fabric is given by

\frac{50}{10}=5

Number of yards of gold fabric is given by

\frac{110}{10}=11

Hence, there are 5 red fabrics and 11 gold fabrics that would be used for each curtain.

A parabola can be drawn given a focus of (-11, -2) and a directrix of x= -3
fgiga [73]

Check the picture below, so the parabola looks more or less like that.

now, the vertex is half-way between the focus point and the directrix, so that puts it where you see it in the picture, and the horizontal parabola is opening to the left-hand-side, meaning that the distance "P" is negative.

\textit{horizontal parabola vertex form with focus point distance} \\\\ 4p(x- h)=(y- k)^2 \qquad \begin{cases} \stackrel{vertex}{(h,k)}\qquad \stackrel{focus~point}{(h+p,k)}\qquad \stackrel{directrix}{x=h-p}\\\\ p=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\ \qquad \textit{ focus or directrix}\\\\ \stackrel{"p"~is~negative}{op ens~\supset}\qquad \stackrel{"p"~is~positive}{op ens~\subset} \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}

\begin{cases} h=-7\\ k=-2\\ p=-4 \end{cases}\implies 4(-4)[x-(-7)]~~ = ~~[y-(-2)]^2 \\\\\\ -16(x+7)=(y+2)^2\implies x+7=-\cfrac{(y+2)^2}{16}\implies x=-\cfrac{1}{16}(y+2)^2-7

A right triangle follows the Pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Let’s work out the problems
1. 20^2 + 72^2 = 75^2
40 + 5184 = 5625
False

2. 40^2 + 74^2 = 85^2
1600 + 5476 = 7225
False

3. 45^2 + 60^2 = 75^2
2025 + 3600 = 5625
True

The correct answer is (45, 60, 75)
