Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the dish opens upwards. The cross-section through the vertex is a parabola. You know three points on the parabola: (0,0), (2,2), and (-2,2). Plug the points into y = ax² + bx + c to get a system of three equations where a=0.5, b=c=0.

Equation of parabola: y = 0.5x²

:::::

Vertex (0,0)

Focal length = 1/(4×0.5) = 0.5

Focus (0,0+0.5) = (0, 0.5)

Directrix y = 0-0.5 = -0.5

:::::

At endpoints of latus rectum, y = 0.5

x = ±√0.5 = ±√2/2

Focal width = 2×√2/2 = √2

:::::

Place antenna at focus, (9,2)

You divide a number and get a remainder of 4. what 1 - digit number can the divisor of the problem?

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

Any of the numbers 5,6,7,8,9 could be the divisor of the problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Division

If I divide a number and get a remainder of 4, then the divisor must be greater than 4. A divisor of 4, for example, would lead to a remainder of (maximum) 3.

Thus, our divisor can only be one among the numbers: 5,6,7,8,9. If the dividend is exactly 4, then the divisions

4/5, 4/6, 4/7, 4/8, and 4/9

they all produce the same remainder of 4.

Thus, any of the numbers 5,6,7,8,9 could be the divisor of the problem

The polynomial 3x2 is a with a degree of .

ZanzabumX [31]

To determine the degree of a polynomial, you look at every term:

if the term involves only one variable, the degree of that term is the exponent of the variable
if the term involves more than one variable, the degree of that term is the sum of the exponents of the variables.

So, for example, the degree of $7x^{55}$ is 55, while the degree of $xy^2z^4$ is $1+2+4 = 7$
