Suppose that y = k * (x - 1/3) ^ 2 is a parabola in the xy -plane that passes through the point (2/3, 1) :Find k and the length

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

k = 9

length of chord = 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of parabola: $y=k (x-\frac13)^2$

<u />

<u>Part 1</u>

If the curve passes through point $(\frac23 ,1)$ , this means that when $x=\dfrac23$ , $y = 1$

Substitute these values into the equation and solve for $k$ :

$\implies 1=k \left(\dfrac23-\dfrac13\right)^2$

$\implies 1=k \left(\dfrac13 \right)^2$

Apply the exponent rule $\left(\dfrac{a}{b} \right)^c=\dfrac{a^c}{b^c}$ :

$\implies 1=k \left(\dfrac{1^2}{3^2} \right)$

$\implies 1=\dfrac{1}{9}k$

$\implies k=9$

<u>Part 2</u>

The chord of a parabola is a line segment whose endpoints are points on the parabola.

We are told that one end of the chord is at $(\frac23 ,1)$ and that the chord is horizontal. Therefore, the y-coordinate of the other end of the chord will also be 1. Substitute y = 1 into the equation for the parabola and solve for x:

$\implies 1=9 \left(x-\dfrac13 \right)^2$

$\implies \dfrac19 = \left(x-\dfrac13 \right)^2$

$\implies \sqrt{\dfrac19} = x-\dfrac13$

$\implies \pm \dfrac13 = x-\dfrac13$

$\implies x=\dfrac23, x=0$

Therefore, the endpoints of the horizontal chord are: (0, 1) and (2/3, 1)

To calculate the length of the chord, find the difference between the x-coordinates:

$\implies \dfrac23-0=\dfrac23$

4. If the sides of a square measure 9V3 units, then find the length of the diagonal.

Nitella [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the diagonal, use Pythagorean theorem,

diagonal² = side² + side²

= (9√3)² + (9√3)²

= 9²(√3)² + 9²(√3)²

= 81*3 + 81*3

= 243 + 243

= 486

diagonal = √486 = 22.05 units

Enter an equation for the function that includes the points.Give your answer in a(b)x. In the event that a=1 , give your answer

Andrews [41]

Answer:

$f(x) = \frac{24}{25} * \frac{5}{6}^x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$(x_1,y_1) = (2,\frac{2}{3})$

$(x_2,y_2) = (3,\frac{5}{9})$

Required

Write the equation of the function $f(x) = ab^x$

Express the function as:

$y = ab^x$

In: $(x_1,y_1) = (2,\frac{2}{3})$

$y = ab^x$

$\frac{2}{3} = a * b^2$ --- (1)

In $(x_2,y_2) = (3,\frac{5}{9})$

$y = ab^x$

$\frac{5}{9} = a * b^3$ --- (2)

Divide (2) by (1)

$\frac{5}{9}/\frac{2}{3} = \frac{a*b^3}{a*b^2}$

$\frac{5}{9}/\frac{2}{3} = b$

$\frac{5}{9}*\frac{3}{2} = b$

$\frac{5}{3}*\frac{1}{2} = b$

$\frac{5}{6} = b$

$b = \frac{5}{6}$

Substitute 5/6 for b in (1)

$\frac{2}{3} = a * b^2$

$\frac{2}{3} = a * \frac{5}{6}^2$

$\frac{2}{3} = a * \frac{25}{36}$

$a = \frac{2}{3} * \frac{36}{25}$

$a = \frac{2}{1} * \frac{12}{25}$

$a = \frac{24}{25}$

The function: $f(x) = ab^x$

$f(x) = \frac{24}{25} * \frac{5}{6}^x$
