What is the equation of the quadratic graph with a focus of (8, −8) and a directrix of y = −6?

1 answer:

4 0

The vertex is exactly half way between directrix and focus. In this case the vertex is (8,-7)
(h,k)

P is the distance between the vertex and either the directrix or focus, in this case p = 1.

a = 1/(4p) or 1/(4*1) or 1/4

write the equation in vertex form

y = a(x-h)^2 + k

y = 1/4(x-8)^2 -7

Calculate the pay for the following day of a weekly time card given a wage of $12.50/hr.

Elenna [48]

The one day pay is $106.25 rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table shown :

The timing shown in the morning is from 8:00 to 12:15
The number of hours worked in the morning = 4 hours 15 minutes.

It is given that, the pay is $12.5 per hour.

Therefore, the pay earned in the morning = No.of hours × pay per hour.

⇒ 4 hours × 12.5 = $50

⇒ (15 mins / 60 mins) × 12.5 = $3.125

⇒ 50+3.125

⇒ 53.125

The timing shown in the afternoon is from 8:00 to 12:15
The number of hours worked in the morning = 4 hours 15 minutes.

Therefore, the pay earned in the afternoon = No.of hours × pay per hour.

⇒ 4 hours × 12.5 = $50

⇒ (15 mins / 60 mins) × 12.5 = $3.125

⇒ 50+3.125

⇒ 53.125

The pay for 1 day = pay earned in the morning section + pay earned in the afternoon section.

⇒ 53.125 + 53.125

⇒ 106.25

∴ The one day pay is $106.25 rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Part 1:

emmasim [6.3K]

Here are my answers to the given questions above:
Part 1. Here is my example of a real life scenario that describes what is happening. Let us say, I have 2 cookies and the bottle of milk costs 11 dollars, and 3 cookies and 4 bottles of milk cost 24 dollars.
Part 2.
y=11-2x
3x+4(11-2x)=24
3x+44-8x=24
-5x=-20
x=4
y=11-8
y=3
Therefore, each cookie costs 4 dollars, and a bottle of milk costs 3 dollars.
Hope this answer helps. Let me know if you need more help next time.

The two lines below intersect as shown what the value of x (2x+29) (9x-13)

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Given:

Two lines intersect each other.

Consider the below figure attached with this question.

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

If two lines intersect each other then the vertically opposite angles are congruent and their measures are equal.

In the given figure, the measures of two vertically opposite angles are (2x+29)° and (9x-13)°.

$2x+29=9x-13$

$2x-9x=-29-13$

$-7x=-42$

Divide both sides by -7.

$x=\dfrac{-42}{-7}$

$x=6$

Therefore, the value of x is 6.

Find the solution to the following system using substitution or elimination: y = 3x + 2 y = -2x - 8 O A. (-5,-) OB. (-2,-4) O C.

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

B. (-2,-4)

Explanation

Given equations:

y = 3x + 2

y = -2x - 8

Solving both equations will yield the values of x and y;

Solution:

y = 3x + 2 ----- (i)

y = -2x - 8 ------ (ii)

Using substitution method, input equation i, into ii

3x + 2 = -2x - 8

Collect like terms and solve;

3x + 2x = -8 -2

5x = -10

x = -2

Then put x = -2 into i, to find y

y = (-2 x 3) + 2

y = -6 + 2 = -4

So, the solution of the equation is B. (-2,-4)
