Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
16= -4(x-1)+4
16 - 4 = -4x + 4
12 = -4x + 4
12 - 4 = -4x
8 = -4x
x = 8 ÷ -4
x = -2

Answer:
8√3 ≈ 13.86 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The light source is usually placed at the focus, so the focus-vertex distance is p=3 ft. The equation for the parabola with its vertex at the origin is ...
y = 1/(4p)x^2
y = 1/12x^2
The opening for some y-value extends ±x from the axis of symmetry, so is a total of 2x in width.
For y=4, the corresponding value of x is ...
4 = 1/12x^2
48 = x^2
√48 = x = 4√3
Then the width of the searchlight opening is ...
2(4√3 ft) = 8√3 ft ≈ 13.86 ft
Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
QR ≈ 16.2 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle.
tan62° =
=
=
( multiply both sides by 8.6 )
8.6 × tan62° = QR , then
QR ≈ 16.2 ft ( to the nearest tenth )
So,

1. Graph each inequality separately.
2. Choose a test point to determine which side of the line needs to be shaded.
3. The solution to the system will be the area where the shadings from each inequality overlap one another (purple area)
As for the system of inequalities we say it's unbounded.
