Answer:
8√3 ≈ 13.86 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The light source is usually placed at the focus, so the focus-vertex distance is p=3 ft. The equation for the parabola with its vertex at the origin is ...
y = 1/(4p)x^2
y = 1/12x^2
The opening for some y-value extends ±x from the axis of symmetry, so is a total of 2x in width.
For y=4, the corresponding value of x is ...
4 = 1/12x^2
48 = x^2
√48 = x = 4√3
Then the width of the searchlight opening is ...
2(4√3 ft) = 8√3 ft ≈ 13.86 ft
Answer:
u can ask if u didn't understand !
Answer:
Ok, I have 2 answers
1. Use Desmos to solve for them or
2. For one of them the y-intercept is 4 so you begin the line at 4 and you go up 2 over 1. For the second -3.5 is the y-intercept so start at -3.5 and go down 1 over 1.
Replace the f(x) in the second equation will 6x + 5 so then it looks like 2(6x + 5) + 6. Then distribute so it’s 12x + 10 + 6 and then simplify to 12x + 16
Answer:
Those ratios are not equivalent
Step-by-step explanation:
3:4 is not the same as 4:3 because 3:4 means 3 out of 4 but 4:3 means 4 out of 3 which means it is more than one while 3:4 is less than one
