Answer:

y = x^2/ 60 + 15

=>( x - h)^2 = 4a[ (x^2/6 + 15) - k ].

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, in order to solve this question very well, one thing we must keep at the back of our mind is that the representation for the equation of a parabola is given as ; y = ax^2 + bx + c.

That is to say; y = ax^2 + bx + c is the equation for a parabola. So, we should be expecting our answer to be in this form.

So, from the question above we are given that "the satellite dish will be in the shape of a parabola and will be positioned above the ground such that its focus is 30 ft above the ground"

We will make an assumption that the point on the ground is (0,0) and the focus is (0,30). Thus, the vertex (h,k) = (0,15).

The equation that best describes the equation of the satellite is given as;

(x - h)^2 = 4a( y - k). ------------------------(1).

[Note that if (h,k) = (0,15), then, a = 15].

Hence, (x - 0)^2 = (4 × 15) (y - 15).

x^2 = 60(y - 15).

x^2 = 60y - 900.

60y = x^2 + 900.

y = x^2/ 60 + 15.

Hence, we will have;

(x - h)^2 = 4a[ (x^2/6 + 15) - k ].

Your teacher is choosing 2 students to run an errand for her. There are 12 girls and 10 boys in the class. What is the probabili
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 22 (12 + 10) total students in the class. That means that the chance of the first student picked being a girl is 12/22.

Now, we must calculate the chance of the next student to be picked <em>also </em>being a girl - however, there is a trap here! Remember that since a girl has been picked, the total student pool has decreased to 21 and and the total number of girls has decreased to 11. This means the new chance of girl being picked is 11/21.

To find the probability of both these events happening in conjunction, these fractions must be multiplied. 12/22 * 11/21 = 132/462, which simplifies to 2/7.

Carlos drove to the train station and back. The trip there took five hours and the trip back took four hours. What was Carlos' a
katrin2010 [14]

Answer: 54.4 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the distance to the train station. If it took Carlos 4 hours to come back driving at 68 mph, the distance is:

= Speed * time

= 68 * 4

= 272 miles

This means that Carlos drove for 5 hours to cover 272 miles the first time. His average speed was therefore:

= Distance / time

= 272/5

= 54.4 mph
