Find the equation of a parabola with focus F(-3, 9) and directrix x = -13.

Answer:

y² = 38x + 79

Step-by-step explanation:

Since directrix is the line x = -13, then it means x + 13 = 0

Focus is F(-3, 9).

Let A(x, y) be any point inside the plane having the focus and directrix.

Let MA be the perpendicular distance from A to the directrix and it means that A lies on parabola provided FA = MA.

Thus;

√[(x - (-3))² + (y - 9)²] = (x + 13)

Squaring both sides gives;

(x + 3)² + (y - 9)² = (x + 13)²

>> (x² + 6x + 9) + (y² - 18x + 81) = x² + 26x + 169

>> 6x + 9 + y² - 18x + 81 = 26x + 169

>> y² = 26x + 12x + 169 - 90

>> y² = 38x + 79

(a) use the pythagorean theorem to determine the length of the unknown side of the triangle, (b) determine the perimeter of the
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

(A) 40 km

(B) 90 km

(C) 180 km²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the missing side of this triangle, let's use the Pythagorean theorem.

a^2+b^2=c^2, assuming that a and b are legs, and c is the hypotenuse.

Assuming the 9km side is a, we need to find the value of b, so we can substitute into the equation.

9^2+b^2=41^2\\81+b^2=1681\\b^2=1681-81\\b^2=1600\\\\b = \sqrt{1600} \\b=40

So, the length of the missing side is 40. Now that we know this piece of information, we can find the perimeter and area of the triangle.

The perimeter is all the sides added together, so 41+9+40 = 90 km is the perimeter.

The area are the two legs multiplied divided by 2.

So,

\frac{9\cdot40}{2} \\\\\frac{360}{2}\\\\180

So the area of this triangle is 180 cm²

I hope this helped!
