Answer:
y = 1/12 (x − 5)²
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this graphically without doing calculations.
The y component of the focus is y = 3. Since this is above the directrix, we know this is an upward facing parabola, so it must have a positive coefficient. That narrows the possible answers to A and C.
The x component of the focus is x = 5. Since this is above the vertex, we know the x component of the vertex is also x = 5.
So the answer is A. y = 1/12 (x−5)².
But let's say this wasn't a multiple choice question and we needed to do calculations. The equation of a parabola is:
y = 1/(4p) (x − h)² + k
where (h, k) is the vertex and p is the distance from the vertex to the focus.
The vertex is halfway between the focus and the directrix. So p is half the difference of the y components:
p = (3 − (-3)) / 2
p = 3
k, the y component of the vertex, is the average:
k = (3 + (-3)) / 2
k = 0
And h, the x component of the vertex, is the same as the focus:
h = 5
So:
y = 1/(4×3) (x − 5)² + 0
y = 1/12 (x − 5)²
Answer:
125.6 units = x
Step-by-step explanation:
72
---- = tan 37 degrees, so x = 72/(tan 37 degrees)
x
This comes out to x = 72/0.573 = 125.6 units = x
Answer:
60 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
base = 10
Height = √13² - 5² = √144 = 12
area = 1/2BH = 1/2 * 10 * 12 = 60
Answer:
p=5
Step-by-step explanation:
a(x+y) is also (x+y)a
So if 3(n+5) has to be equivalent to (n+p)3, then p has to be 5.

Answer:
4) x^10
Step-by-step explanation:
1) If two numbers have the same base (i.e. x^3 and x^4) and you are multiplying them you just add the exponents. Therefore x^3*x^4 would be x^(3+4) which equals x^7.
2) When dividing similar bases you have to subtract the exponents. If we have x^18÷x^8 that is equivalent to x^(18-8) which gives us x^10.
3) If we have (x^3)^3 we will need to multiply the exponents. Therefore (x^3)^3 is equivalent to x^(3*3) which gives us x^9.
4) (x^2*x^4)^4÷x^8
First do what's in the parentheses,
(x^2*x^4) = x^6
Next do the exponents,
(x^6)^3 = x^18
Lastly the division,
x^18÷x^8 = x^10
x^10 is our answer.
