Vertex is directly in middle of directix and focus
distance from 8 to -8 is 16
16/2=8
so 8 below focus (since 8>-8) is the point (0,0
vertex is (0,0)
nice
it opens up because focus is above directix
also it goes up down so
4p(y-k)=(x-h)^2
(h,k) is veretx
we got that (h,k) is (0,0)
and p is distance from vertex to focus which is 8
so
4(8)(y-0)=(x-0)^2
32y=x^2
y=(1/32)x^2
Answer:
Let x equal the ice thickness. An equality that represents a safe ice thickness for walkability is:
x ≥ 4 inches
(Plus the graph)
Step-by-step explanation:
Defining a variable just means you let any letter or symbol take the place of something. But you have to specifically say what is what in order for it to be clear.
So I defined "x" as the variable to represent the ice's thickness. And since we want an inequality for all the safe thicknesses, we could say that "x" must be greater than or equal to 4 inches thick in order to safely walk on it.
Lastly, you'd graph it with a solid point on 4 with the arrow going to the right.
It would be: 12/75 = 4/25
So, your answer is 4/25
