Answer:

  54.2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the drivers leave at the same time and travel in directions 90° from each other, their separation speed can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. Let c represent Cynthia's average speed. Then (c-10) will represent Tim's average speed. Their combined separation speed is 70 miles per hour, so we can write ...

  70² = c² +(c -10)²

  4900 = 2c² -20c +100 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  c² -10c -2400 = 0 . . . . . . . . divide by 2; put in standard form

  (c -5)² -2425 = 0 . . . . . . . . . rearrange to vertex form

  c = 5 ±5√97 . . . . . . . . . . . . solve for c, simplify radical

  c ≈ 54.244 ≈ 54.2 . . . . . . . use the positive solution

Cynthia's average speed was 54.2 miles per hour.

Using the given information write the equation of parabolas:
lana [24]

The general form of the equation we need to find is (x - h)^2 = 4p(y- k).

The center is the distance between the directrix and focus.

So, center (h, k) = (3, 3/2) .

P = distance from center to the focus and it just so happens to be 1.5.

We now plug everything into the formula given above.

(x - 3)^2 = 4(1.5)(y - 3/2)

(x - 3)^2 = 6(y - 3/2)

Done!

The points J (-13,10) and K(-1,-6) are endpoints of a diameter of circle G. What is the equation of circle G?
In-s [12.5K]
The correct answer is D

The equation of a circle is (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

to find (h,k), you find the middle of the circle, in this scenario you do so by finding the middle of the diameter, a line that goes through the center of the circle.

To find the X value of the midpoint, add both x values together and divide by 2 and repeat for y

-13 + -1 = -14
-14/2 =-7

10+ -6 = 4
4/2 = 2

therefore (h,k) = ( -7, 2 )

Next plug these values in the equation of a circle

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

becomes

(x- (-7)) ^2 + (y-(2)) ^2 = r^2

to find r, use the distance formula to find the length of the diameter, 20, and divide by 2


plug 10 in for r and you get 100

(x+7)^2 + (y-2)^2 = 100

sorry for the late response
