Ok so pythagorean theorem is
a^2+b^2=c^2
plug it in
8^2+15^2=17^2
64+225=289
289=289

yass it works so that means they do make a right triangle

yes, they make a right triangle because they're a pythagorean triple and pythagorean theorem works when you plug the numbers in.

What is the equation of the quadratic graph with a focus of (3, 1) and a directrix of y = 5?
telo118 [61]

Answer:

f(x)=-\frac{1}{8}(x-3)^2+3

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the equation of the parabola with a focus of (3,1) and directrix y=5.

Considering the directrix, the quadratic graph must open downwards.


The equation of this parabola is given by the formula,

(x-h)^2=4p(y-k), where (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola.


The axis of this parabola meets the directrix at (3,5).

Since the vertex is the midpoint of the focus and the point of intersection of the axis of the parabola and the directrix,


h=\frac{3+3}{2}=3 and k=\frac{5+1}{2}=3.


The equation of the parabola now becomes,


(x-3)^2=4p(y-3).


Also |p| is the distance between the vertex and the directrix.


|p|=2


This implies that p=-2\:or\:2.


Since the parabola turns downwards,


p=-2.



Our equation now becomes,


(x-3)^2=4(-2)(y-3).


(x-3)^2=-8(y-3).


We make y the subject to get,

y=-\frac{1}{8}(x-3)^2+3).


This is the same as

f(x)=-\frac{1}{8}(x-3)^2+3).

Find the total cost to the nearest cent. $58 bill; 20% tip
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

$69.60

Step-by-step explanation:

20% of $58 is $11.60. So you add $11.60 + 58 which equals $69.60, so that is the total cost.
