first off, let's notice the parabola is a vertical one, therefore the squared variable is the x, and the parabola is opening upwards, meaning the coefficient of x² is positive.

let's notice the vertex, or U-turn, is at (-2, 2)

$\bf ~~~~~~\textit{parabola vertex form} \\\\ \begin{array}{llll} \boxed{y=a(x- h)^2+ k}\\\\ x=a(y- k)^2+ h \end{array} \qquad\qquad vertex~~(\stackrel{-2}{ h},\stackrel{2}{ k}) \\\\\\ y=+1[x-(-2)]^2+2\implies y=(x+2)^2+2$

The point (-3/5,y) in the third quadrant corresponds to angle θ on the unit circle.

romanna [79]

Sec(theta) = 1 / cos (theta) = hypotenuse / x -coordinate

hypotenuse = 1 (because it is the radius of the unit circle)

sec (theta) = 1 / (-3/5) = - 5/3

cot (theta) = 1 / tan(theta) = x-coordinate / y - coordinate

cot (theta) = -3/5 / y

y^2 + (-3/5)^2 = 1 => y^2 = 1 - 9/25 = 16/25 = y = +/- 4/5

Third quadrant => y = -4/5

=> cot (theta) = (-3/5) / (-4/5) = 3/4

The volume

Sedaia [141]

$\bf \begin{array}{cccccclllll}
\textit{something}&&\textit{varies directly to}&&\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\
\textit{something}&=&{{ \textit{some value}}}&\cdot &\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\
y&=&{{ k}}&\cdot&x
&& y={{ k }}x
\end{array}\\ \quad \\
$

and also

$\bf \begin{array}{llllll}
\textit{something}&&\textit{varies inversely to}&\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\
\textit{something}&=&\cfrac{{{\textit{some value}}}}{}&\cfrac{}{\textit{something else}}\\ \quad \\
y&=&\cfrac{{{\textit{k}}}}{}&\cfrac{}{x}
&&y=\cfrac{{{ k}}}{x}
\end{array}
$

now, we know that V varies directly to T and inversely to P simultaneously
thus $\bf V=T\cdot \cfrac{k}{P}$

so $\bf V=T\cdot \cfrac{k}{P}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
V=42\\
T=84\\
P=8
\end{cases}\implies 42=\cfrac{84k}{8}\implies 4=k
\\\\\\
V=\cfrac{4T}{P}\qquad now\quad 
\begin{cases}
V=74\\
P=10
\end{cases}\implies 74=\cfrac{4T}{10}\implies 185=T$
