Answer:

To solve the equation of the parabola, I need to use the distance formula and substitute the focal point in (x1-y1). Also, I will use the distance formula for the direct x. Since it is a straight line, the x part could be eliminated and the remaining part of the formula would be used, substituting the y for the given measurement of the direct x. The two unfinished formulas would be combined and then solved for the equation. f(x) would be the unit of measurement for the parabola.

draw a perpendicular line from the directrix passing through the focus, this will be the line of symmetry. The vertex(h, k) will be located on the line half way between the focus and directrix. The distance from the focus to the vertex is called the focal length, call it a. The then equation is (x - h)^2 = 4a(y - k) the equation can be manipulated to y = 1/4a(x - h)^2 + k hope it helps

Answer:

41.8 degrees for both angles

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the angle is bisected, it creates two equal, lesser angles. This means that the larger angle must be divided by two.

Find the slope of the line through each pair of points.
Natali [406]

Answer:

1. 0, 2. -1/2, 3.undefined, 4. -5/3, 5. 6, 6. -2, 7. 23/17

Step-by-step explanation:

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

1. -18 - -18 / 15 - 6 = 0

2. 16 - 12 / 0 - 8 = -4/8 = -1/2

3. 37 - 2 / -15 - -15 is undefined (can't have 0 as denominator)

4. 30 - 20 / -5 - 1 = 10 / -6 = -5/3

5. -36 - -12 / 4 - 8 = -24 / -4 = 6

6. - 23 - -15 / 11 - 7 = -8 / 4 = -2

7. 100 - 54 / -38 - -72 = 46 / 34 = 23/17

Part 1: I'm pretty sure B is soluble in water.
Part 2: The data is showing that A isn't soluble at all (probably cause it's solid or a lipid or something) because the amount undissolved stays the same as B changes in solubility.

8x + 34. What does X equal
rosijanka [135]

Answer: x=-4.25

Step-by-step explanation:

First you put it in to y= mx+b form.

0=8x+34

Then you subtract 34 from both sides

-34=8x

Then you divide 8 from both sides

Leaving you with

x=-4.25

Describe how you would convince a friend that sin(x + y) does not equal sin x + sin y.
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

PEMDAS

anything done in the parentheses comes first

so you have to add first then multiply

this is not the distributive property unless the two numbers in parentheses are not like terms
