An item is regularly priced at $80. Juan bought It at a discount of 20% off the regular price. How much did Juan pay?

1 answer:

3 0

Hello there! So, the item has a 20% discount, but Juan still had to pay 80% for the item. To find the amount he paid, all you have to do is multiply the price by the percentage. We multiply by 80%, because he still had to pay the portion of the price. 80 * 80% (0.8) is 64. The. Juan paid $64.

F(x) 3x^4-4x^2-3<br> Is this function odd?

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 3x^4-4x^2-3

If a function is odd then f(-x) = -f(x) for all values of x.

Here f(-x) = 3(-x)^4 - 4(-x)^2 - 3

= 3x^4 - 4x^2 - 3

So f(-x) = f(x) which makes it even.

A parabola has a focus of F(2, -0.5) and a directrix of y=-1.5 P(x,y) represents any point on the parabola, while D(x, -1.5) rep

prohojiy [21]

The sketch of the parabola is attached below

We have the focus $(a,b) = (2, -0.5)$
The point $P(x,y)$
The directrix, c at $y=-1.5$

The steps to find the equation of the parabola are as follows

Step 1
Find the distance between the focus and the point P using Pythagoras. We have two coordinates; $(2, -0.5)$ and $(x,y)$ .
We need the vertical and horizontal distances to find the hypotenuse (the diagram is shown in the second diagram).
The distance between the focus and point P is given by
$\sqrt{ (x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2} }$

Step 2
Find the distance between the point P to the directrix $c$ . It is a vertical distance between y and c, expressed as $y-c$

Step 3
The equation of parabola is then given as
$\sqrt{ (x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2} }$ = $y-c$
$(x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2}= (y-c)^{2}$ ⇒ substituting a, b and c
$(x-2)^{2}+ (y--0.5)^{2} = (y--1.5)^{2}$
$(x-2)^{2}+ (y+0.5)^{2}= (y+1.5)^{2}$ ⇒Rearranging and making $y$ the subject gives

$y= \frac{ x^{2} }{2} -2x+1$
