Answer:

y= \frac{1}{28} x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

A mirror with a parabolic cross section is used to collect sunlight on a pipe located at the focus of the mirror.

The pipe is located 7 inches from the vertex of the mirror.

The parabola is open upwards . the vertex of the parabola is (0,0)

and pipe is located 7 inches from the vertex (0,0)

7 inches is the focus of the mirror

The distance between the vertex and the focus = 7

Since parabola is upwards and vertex is (0,0) we use formula

4py = x^2

Where p is the distance between the vertex and focus

p = 7 we know

4*7*y = x^2

28y = x^2

Now isolate y by dividing 28 on both sides

y= \frac{1}{28} x^2

HELP<br> Find the value of two numbers if their sum is 5 and their difference is 30
vodomira [7]

Answer:

The 2 numbers are -12.5 and 17.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 1 number be x then  x - y  = 30 where the other number is y.

y = x - 30 so the sum is:

x - 30 + x = 5

2x = 35

x = 17.5

and y = 17.5 - 30 = -12.5.

Bonus: In Triangle STP, the measure of &lt;T is twice the measure of &lt;S and the
olganol [36]

Answer:

m∠S=30°

m∠T=60°

m∠P=90°

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The sum of the interior angles in a triangle must be equal to 180 degrees

so

In the triangle STP

m∠S+m∠T+m∠P=180° ----> equation A

m∠T=2(m∠S) ----> equation B

m∠P=3(m∠S) ----> equation C

Solve the system of equations by substitution

Substitute equation B and equation C in equation A

m∠S+2(m∠S)+3(m∠S)=180°

Solve for m∠S

6m∠S=180°

m∠S=30°

<em>Find m∠T</em>

m∠T=2(m∠S)

m∠T=2(30°)=60°

<em>Find m∠P</em>

m∠P=3(m∠S)

m∠P=3(30°)=90°
