Answer:

$y^{2}=-16x$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The standard equation of a horizontal parabola is equal to

$(y-k)^{2}=4p(x-h)$

where

(h,k) is the vertex

(h+p,k) is the focus

In this problem we have

(h,k)=(0,0) ----> vertex at origin

(h+p,k)=(-4,0)

h+p=-4

p=-4

substitute the values

$(y-0)^{2}=4(-4)(x-0)$

$y^{2}=-16x$

Find, correct to four decimal places, the length of the curve of intersection of the cylinder 4x2 1 y2 − 4 and the plane x 1 y 1

charle [14.2K]

<u>Answer-</u> Length of the curve of intersection is 13.5191 sq.units

<u>Solution-</u>

As the equation of the cylinder is in rectangular for, so we have to convert it into parametric form with

x = cos t, y = 2 sin t (∵ 4x² + y² = 4 ⇒ 4cos²t + 4sin²t = 4, then it will satisfy the equation)

Then, substituting these values in the plane equation to get the z parameter,

cos t + 2sin t + z = 2

⇒ z = 2 - cos t - 2sin t

∴ $\frac{dx}{dt} = -\sin t$

$\frac{dy}{dt} = 2 \cos t$

$\frac{dz}{dt} = \sin t-2cos t$

As it is a full revolution around the original cylinder is from 0 to 2π, so we have to integrate from 0 to 2π

∴ Arc length

$= \int_{0}^{2\pi}\sqrt{(\frac{dx}{dt})^{2}+(\frac{dy}{dt})^{2}+(\frac{dz}{dt})^{2}$

$=\int_{0}^{2\pi}\sqrt{(-\sin t)^{2}+(2\cos t)^{2}+(\sin t-2\cos t)^{2}$

$=\int_{0}^{2\pi}\sqrt{(2\sin t)^{2}+(8\cos t)^{2}-(4\sin t\cos t)$

Now evaluating the integral using calculator,

$=\int_{0}^{2\pi}\sqrt{(2\sin t)^{2}+(8\cos t)^{2}-(4\sin t\cos t)$ $= 13.5191$

392 / 500 double and take one decimal place to see percentage

52/500

56/500 e.g. 56*2 = 112 now take 1 decimal so it is 11.2%

now divide each by 20

Area of the parallelogram = 20 x 16 = 320
Area of the triangle on top = 1/2 x 20 x 8 = 80
Total = 320 + 80 = 400 square inches

Find the slope of the line passing through the points of (3,-5) and (-9,-6)

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

m = ---

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is y2-y1

---------

x2-x1

(x1,y1) (x2,y2)

(3,-5) (-9,-6)

You get the 2 Y's and subtract them

Do the same with the X's

Y's above , X's below

(y2- y1)

⬇

-6-(-5) -1 1

--------- = ---- = ---- = m

-9-(3) -12 12

⬆

(×2- x1)

This equation is backwards, thats why it was harder to understand. (-9,-6) is farther left and below point (3,-5), making it the REAL first point in the equation.
