Answer:

The order is -(8), -7, -|-2|, |-3|

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute value makes the number positive. Therefore -8,-7 and then -|-2|, and finally -3 absolute value makes it positive.

Find the equation for a parabola with its focus at (0, 3) and a directrix of y = -3.

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

y = (1/12)x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex of this parabola is halfway between (0, 3) and the directrix, y = -3; that is, it's at (0, 0).

The applicable equation for this vertical parabola is 4py = x^2, where p is the distance between the vertex and the focus. Here that distance is p = 3.

Thus, 4py = x^2 becomes 4(3)y = x^2, or 12y = x^2, or y = (1/12)x^2.

Given:

A figure of a parallelogram.

The vertex angles are $(12b+8)^\circ,(5b+2)^\circ,2a^\circ$ .

To find:

The values of a and b.

Solution:

We know that the pairs of consecutive angles of a parallelogram are supplementary angles. It mean their sum is 180 degrees.

$(12b+8)^\circ+(5b+2)^\circ=180^\circ$ (Supplementary angles)

$(17b+10)^\circ=180^\circ$

$17b+10=180$

Subtract 10 from both sides.

$17b=180-10$

$17b=170$

Divide both sides by 17.

$b=\dfrac{170}{17}$

$b=10$

Now,

$(5b+2)^\circ=(5(10)+2)^\circ$

$(5b+2)^\circ=(50+2)^\circ$

$(5b+2)^\circ=52^\circ$

And,

$(5b+2)^\circ+2a^\circ=180^\circ$ (Supplementary angles)

$52^\circ+2a^\circ=180^\circ$

$2a^\circ=180^\circ-52^\circ$

$2a^\circ=128^\circ$

Divide both sides by 2.

$a^\circ=\dfrac{128^\circ}{2}$

$a^\circ=64^\circ$

$a=64$

Therefore, the value of a is 64 and the value of b is 10.

Answer: $6.48

Step-by-step explanation:

1.60 * 0.1 = $0.16

1.60 - 0.16 = $1.44

1.44 * 4.5 = $6.48
