Ok

so the focus is on the opening side of the parabola

so for a vertex of (h,k)
opening up and down
(x-h)²=4p(y-k)
p is the distance from vertex to focus
it is also the distance from the vertex to the closes point on directix
2p=distance from focus to directix

p is positive if the focus is above the directix

ok
y=9 and (7,6)
9>6
directix is above the vertex
p is negative
find distance
from 9 to 6 is 3
3=2p
1.5=p
p is negative
and the vertex will be 1.5 above the focus and 1.5 below the directix
vertex is (7,7.5)

(x-7)²=4(-1.5)(y-7.5) is de equation

Sarah needs 30 liters of a 25% acid solution how many liters of the 10% and the 30% acid solutions should she mix to get what sh
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

7.5 L of 10% solution and 22.5 L of 30% solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of 10% solution plus volume of 30% solution = total volume of 25% volume.

x + y = 30

Acid in 10% solution plus acid in 30% solution = total acid in 25% solution.

0.10 x + 0.30 y = 30 × 0.25

0.10 x + 0.30 y = 7.5

Solve the system of equations, using either substitution or elimination.  I'll use substitution:

x = 30 − y

0.10 (30 − y) + 0.30 y = 7.5

3 − 0.10 y + 0.30 y = 7.5

0.20 y = 4.5

y = 22.5

x = 30 − y

x = 7.5

Sarah needs 7.5 L of 10% solution and 22.5 L of 30% solution.

GaryK [48]
W= Width 
L= Length

2L+2w=52
2W-4=L
Plug in L into the first equation
2(2W-4)+2w=52
4w-8+2w=52
6W=60
W=10 feet
Plug that into the second equation
2(10)-4=L
