Write an equation for the parabola whose vertex is at (4, 9) and which passes through (5, 24).

1 answer:

8 0

The general formula to form a parabole equation is written below.
y = a(x - h)² + k
with (x,y) is one of the points lies on the parabola, and (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola.

From the question above, we get this information
(x,y) = (5,24)
(h,k) = (4,9)
The remaining value to find is a. We need to find the value of a to form the equation. Input the numbers to the equation.
y = a(x - h)² + k
24 = a(5 - 4)² + 9
24 = a(1) + 9
24 = a + 9
24 - 9 = a
a = 15

Write the equation, without inputing the value of x and y
y = a(x - h)² + k
y = 15(x - 4)² + 9
<em>This is the equation</em>

Answer: In diagram (11) X = 30 degrees and Y = 60 degrees

In diagram (13) X = 20.55 degrees and Y = 69.45 degrees

Step-by-step explanation: What we have are two right angled triangles with two sides given in each case, therefore we can calculate the two unknown angles (since the third angle equals 90 degrees).

For the second triangle (number 13) we shall use Y as the reference angle. That means we have an opposite (the side facing the reference angle) which is 24 and we have an adjacent (the side that lies between the right angle and the reference angle) which is 9. Hence,

Tan Y = opposite/adjacent

Tan Y = 24/9

Tan Y = 2.6667

Checking with your calculator or table of values, 2.6667 = 69.45

Having two angles, which are 90 and 69.45, the third angle X can be computed as

X = 180 - (90 + 69.45)

Sum of angles in a triangle equals 180

X = 180 - 159.45

X = 20.55 and Y = 69.45

For the first triangle (number 11) we shall use X as the reference angle. We have two sides, the opposite (the side facing the reference angle) which is 3, and the hypotenuse (side facing the right angle) which is 6. Hence,

Sin X = opposite/hypotenuse

Sin X = 3/6

Sin X = 0.5000

Checking with your calculator or table of values,

X = 30 degrees.

Also, now that we have two angles we can easily compute the third angle as follows

Y = 180 - (90 + 30)

Sum of angles in a triangle equals 180

Y = 180 - 120

Y = 60

X = 30 and Y = 60

Semmy [17]

Answer:

a) $y=-\frac{1}{9}x$

b) $y-2=-\frac{1}{3} (x-1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the equation of a line in 3 different forms including slope intercept, point-slope, and standard depending on the information we have. We have a point given and a slope from the equation. We will chose point-slope since we have a point and can find the slope.

Point slope: $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

a) $m\neq 9$ in our new equation because it is perpendicular to it. This means we will need to change it into its negative reciprocal which is $m=-\frac{1}{9}$ .

We will substitute $m=-\frac{1}{9}$ and $x_1=0\\y_1=0$ .

$y-0=-\frac{1}{9} (x-0)$

This simplifies to:

$y=-\frac{1}{9}x$

b) The equation y=3x+4 follows y=mx+b. For the perpendicular line, $m\neq 3$ . We will need to change it into its negative reciprocal which is $m=-\frac{1}{3}$ .

We will substitute $m=-\frac{1}{3}$ and $x_1=1\\y_1=2$ .

$y-2=-\frac{1}{3} (x-1)$

Does anyone knows how to do that? <br> I need to solve for x

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

$x=17$ °

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the diagonal lines are marked with arrows, we know that they are parallel. The two angles that are marked with measures are same-side interior angles. Same-side interior angles of parallel lines are supplementary, meaning that the sum of their measures is $180$ °.
