The vertex is at the point (0,0) and the focus at the point (0, 1/8). This is given to us. Both the vertex and focus are separated by a vertical distance in the positive direction.

This means that the parabola opens upward. The vertex form of the equation for a parabola that opens upward is:

y = a(x - h)^2 + k, where the point

(h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.

Plug the vertex given into the above equation.

y = a(x - 0)^2 + 0

y = ax^2 + 0

y = ax^2

What is a?

Note: a = 1/(4f), where f is the distance from the vertex to the focus or simply as given in the focus point above 1/8.

Let f = 1/8

a = 1/4(1/8)

a = 1/(1/2)

a = 2

The equation we want is

y = 2x^2.

f(x) = 2x^2

Choice A is the answer.

7) David bought a computer that was 20% off the regular price of $1080. If an 8% sales tax was added to the cost of the computer

Aneli [31]

Hello there! I can help you!

7. Okay. So the computer was originally $1,080, and the discount is 20%, but David would still have to pay 80% of the original price. To find the sale price, let's multiply. 1,080 * 80% (0.8) is 864. The sale price of the compuet is $864, but now we must add the sales tax to find the total price. We will multiply by 108%, because 100% (representing the price + 8% is 108%, and doing this will get us stright to the total price. 864 * 108% (1.08) is 933.12. There. David paid a total price of $933.12 for the computer.

8. Okay. So we are looking for the amount of discount for the sweater Suzanne bought. First off, let's subtract the prices to find the difference. 40 - 25 is 15. Now, let's divide that by 40 (the original price) to find the discount. 15/40 is 0.375. Or 37.5% when converted into a percentage. There. Suzanne received a 37.5% discount on the sweater when she bought it.

9. So the car was bought for x dollars. 0.88 represents 88%, so the value of the car is 88% of the previous year. An expression that is a way to describe the change in car value is x * (100 - 0.12)^t, because you car loses 12% of the remaining value each year, which leaves 88% of it remaining, and having the t as the exponent represents the number of years. That expression helps find the value of the car currently and can help you compare the values.

The first term in a geometric series is 64 and the common ratio is 0.75. Find the sum of the first 4 terms in the series.

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

195.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider geometric series S(n) where initial term is a

So S(n)=a+ar^1+...ar^n

Factor out a

S(n)=a(1+r+r^2...+r^n)

Multiply by r

S(n)r=a(r+r^2+r^3...+r^n+r^n+1)

Subtract S(n) from S(n)r

Note that only 1 and rn^1 remain.

S(n)r-S(n)=a(r^n+1 -1)

Factor out S(n)

S(n)(r-1)=a(r^n+1 -1)

The formula now shows S(n)=a(r^n+1 -1)/(r-1)

Now use the formula for the problem
