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

What is the exact value of cos 45° ?
Georgia [21]
Let the two sides of a right triangle be equal to one, which means that the hypotenuse is √2

Since cosa=adjacent side / hypotenuse

cos45=1/√2

We can rationalize the denominator by multiplying numerator and denominator by √2

√(2)/2

or if you prefer:  √(1/2)

13. Suppose the probability of passing a driving test is 65%. (a) On a certain afternoon 15 people are tested. (i) What is the e
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer: 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the expected number of people who pass will be calculated as:

= Probability of passing the driving test × Number of people tested

= 65% × 15

= 0.65 × 15

= 9.75

Therefore, expected number of people who pass is 9.

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Part a) The raisins cost $0.8 per ounce

Part b) 1.25 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The correct question is</em></u>

Jackson bought 5 ounces of raisins for $4 dollars.

a) How much do raisins cost per ounce?

b) How many ounces of raisins can be bought for $1?

Part a)  How much do raisins cost per ounce?

we know that

To find out the unit rate divide the total cost by the total weight

so

\frac{4}{5} =\$0.8\ per\ ounce

therefore

The raisins cost $0.8 per ounce

Part b) How many ounces of raisins can be bought for $1?

we know that

The raisins cost $0.8 per ounce

using proportion

Find out how many ounces of raisins can be bought for $1

Let

x -----> the ounces of raisins

\frac{1}{0.8}=\frac{x}{1}\\\\x= 1.25\ ounces
