Answer: $x^2=8y$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the given parabolic mirror opens upwards and vertex=(0,0)

Focus point of the parabolic mirror is located 2 inches from the vertex of the mirror. ∴ p=2

Since, the parabola opens upward, then the equation of the parabola is of the form $x^2=4py$

Substitute the value of p=2 in this, we get the equation of the parabolic mirror

$x^2=4(2)y\\\Rightarrow\ x^2=8y$

Hence, the equation of the parabola that models the cross section of the mirror is $x^2=8y$

Divide £72 into the ratio 4 : 5.

algol13

Answer:

£32 : £40

Step-by-step explanation:

sum the parts of the ratio, 4 + 5 = 9 parts

Divide the amount by 9 to find the value of one part of the ratio

£72 ÷ 9 = £8 ← value of 1 part of the ratio, then

4 parts = 4 × £8 = £32

5 parts = 5 × £8 = £40

Then

£72 in the ratio 4 : 5 is £32 : £40

What is the distributive property for 9−12x+6y=

Ulleksa [173]

Because there are no parentheses, I'm assuming you're asking for how to factor this using the GCF, which can be done like so:

9−12x+6y

Factor a 3 out of this expression.

3(3 - 4x + 2y)

The expression has been simplified using the distributive property in reverse.
