Answer:

x = 3/2 - ((y + 4)²)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of the focus of the parabola = (1, -4)

The directrix of the parabola is the line, x = 2 (parallel to the y-axis)

The general form of a parabola having a directrix parallel to the y-axis is presented as follows;

(y - k)² = 4·p·(x - h)

The coordinates of the focus = (h + p, k)

The line representing the directrix is x = h - p

Therefore, by comparison, we have;

(1, -4) = (h + p, k)

k = -4

h + p = 1

∴ p = 1 - h

From the directrix, we have;

2 = h - p

∴ 2 = h - (1 - h) = 2·h - 1

2·h = 2 + 1

h = 3/2

p = 1 - h

∴ p = 1 - 3/2 = -1/2

p = -1/2

By substitution of the values of <em>k</em>, <em>p</em>, and <em>h</em>, in the general equation of the parabola, (y - k)² = 4·p·(x - h), we get;

(y - k)² = 4·p·(x - h) = (y - (-4))² = 4·(-1/2)·(x - (3/2)) = (y + 4)² = -2·(x - 3/2)

The equation of the parabola in vertex form is therefore;

x = (-1/2)·(y + 4)² + 3/2 = 3/2 - (y + 4)²/2

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since JB is the bisector of AD and the length of AD is given as 24 we can conclude that AZ is 12 (half of AD)

2x + 4 = 12

2x = 8

x = 4

Buying one movie ticket online costs $16.50. Two tickets cost $30.50. Assuming that the relationship is linear, use the drop dow
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

C(n)=14n+2.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

n -----> number of tickets

C ----> represent the cost of buy n tickets online

we have the ordered pairs

(1,16.50) and (2,30.50)

<em>Find out the slope of the linear equation</em>

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{C2-C1}{n2-n1}

substitute the values

m=\frac{30.50-16.50}{2-1}

m=14

<em>Find the equation of the line in slope intercept form</em>

C=m(n)+b

we have

m=14

point(1,16.50)

substitute

16.50=14(1)+b

b=16.50-14

1b=2.50

substitute

C(n)=14n+2.50

The domain of the function is all positive integers (whole numbers) including zero

{0,1,2,3,4,...}

When the family arrived in New Delhi from Rome, the youngest son asked the pilot how fast he was flying the plane. The pilot tol
Elden [556K]

Answer:

7 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the plane was flying at 847 km/hour. So the speed of the plane was 847 kilometers per hour.

It is also given that the distance between Rome and New Delhi is 5,929 kilometers.

We know that the distance is equal to the product of speed and time, so we have,

d= s\times t, where 'd' represents the distance, 's' represents the speed, and 't' represents the time.

Putting the values we get,

5929= 847 \times t

Solving for 't' we get,

t= \frac{5929}{847}=7

So the time taken to fly from Rome to New Delhi is 7 hours.
