Write the equation of a parabola whose directrix is X=11.25 and focus is (6.75,6) Please Help me

Check the picture below.  So the parabola looks like so.

we know the directrix is at x = 11.25, the blue line, and we also know the focus point is at (6.75 , 6), meaning that the focus point is to the left-side of the directrix, it means is a <u>horizontal parabola, thus the squared variable is the "y"</u>, and it also means that our "p" distance will be negative.

we know the <u>the vertex is half-way between the directrix and the focus point</u>, so 11.25 - 6.75 = 4.5, half that is 2.25 units, so if we move from either the focus point or the directrix, 2.25 units towards the other, we'll get the vertex, well, hmmm say 11.25 - 2.25 = 9, and the y-coordinate is of course the same as the focus point's.

now, since "p" is negative, that means p = -2.25.

\bf \textit{horizontal parabola vertex form with focus point distance} \\\\ 4p(x- h)=(y- k)^2 \qquad \begin{cases} \stackrel{vertex}{(h,k)}\qquad \stackrel{focus~point}{(h+p,k)}\qquad \stackrel{directrix}{x=h-p}\\\\ p=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\ \qquad \textit{ focus or directrix}\\\\ \stackrel{"p"~is~negative}{op ens~\supset}\qquad \stackrel{"p"~is~positive}{op ens~\subset} \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf \begin{cases} h = 9\\ k = 6\\ p = -2.25 \end{cases}\implies 4(-2.25)(x-9)=(y-6)^2\implies -9(x-9)=(y-6)^2 \\\\\\ x-9=-\cfrac{1}{9}(y-6)^2\implies x=-\cfrac{1}{9}(y-6)^2+9

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't understand, why there is this segment about the 0 degrees Kelvin.

any material, water or the glass the water is in, or the air, or the floor or the wall : the higher the temperature (the scale does not matter, as long both temperatures use the same), the more energy it contains (the faster the particles in that substance are moving/vibrating).

therefore a glass of water with 80 degrees will have much more energy than one with 20 degrees.

the same way an aluminum can (the actual name of that material is aluminium, but Americans seemingly cannot pronounce that) with 30 degrees has more energy than one with 20 degrees.

An equilateral triangle has an apothem of 5cm. Find the perimeter of the triangle to the nearest centimeter
Sloan [31]
The apothem is the distance from which the altitudes of the triangle to one of its sides. It can be calculated through the equation below,
                             tan 30° = apothem / 0.5(length of side)
Substituting the known values,
                             tan 30° = 5 / 0.5x
The value of x from the equation above is 17.32. Multiplying this value by 3 (because a triangle has 3 sides), we get an answer of 51.96 cm or approximately equal to 52. Thus, the answer is letter B.

What last number of 18^1000?
amid [387]
The last digit will simply be equal to 8^1000, since the 10 will not have any effect on the units digit.  Take the first few powers of 8, examining only the last digit:
8^1=8
8^2=4
8^3=2
8^4=6
8^5=8
8^6=4

We see that it continues in this pattern.  Powers evenly divisible by 4, therefore, end in 6.  Since 1000 is divisible by 4, 8^1000 ends in 6, so 18^1000 also ends in 6.
