Answer:

The equation of the parabola is (x + 4)² = -16(y + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of the equation of the parabola is (x - h)²  = 4p(y - k), where

  • The vertex of the parabola is (h, k)
  • The focus is (h, k + p)
  • The directrix is at y = k - p  

∵ The focus at (-4, -5)

∴ h = -4

∴ k + p = -5 ⇒ (1)

∵ The directrix at y = 3

∴ k - p = 3 ⇒ (2)

→ Add equations (1) and (2) to find k

∴ 2k = -2

→ Divide both sides by 2 to find k

∴ k = -1

→ Substitute it in equation (1) to find p

∵  -1 + p = -5

→ Add both sides by 1

∴ -1 + 1 + p = -5 + 1

∴ p = -4

→ Substitute the values of h, k, and p in the formula above

∵ (x - -4)² = 4(-4)(y - -1)

∴ (x + 4)² = -16(y + 1)

∴ The equation of the parabola is (x + 4)² = -16(y + 1)

How does the slope of g(x) compare to the slope of f(x)?
Maru [420]

Answer:

The answer is 'The slope of g(x) is less than the slope of f(x)'  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the graphs of f(x) and g(x). we have to compare the slops of these two.

The graph of f(x) passes through the points (1,0) and (2,2)

∴ \text{The slope of f(x)=}\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{2-0}{2-1}=2

The graph of g(x) passes through the points (0,2) and (2,3)

∴ \text{The slope of g(x)=}\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{3-2}{2-0}=\frac{1}{2}

As \frac{1}{2}

This shows that the

The slope of g(x) is less than the slope of f(x).

At the start of the month, the value of an investment was $73.42. By the end of the month, the value of the investment changed b
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

0.8%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

At the start of the month, the value of an investment was $73.42.

By the end of the month, the value of the investment changed by a loss of $13.53.

Question asked:

What was the value, in dollars, of the investment at the end of the month?

What was the percent loss?

Solution:

At the start of the month, the value of an investment = $73.42.

Loss = $13.53.

<u><em>The value, of the investment at the end of the month = The value of an investment at the start of the month - loss</em></u>

The value, of the investment at the end of the month = $73.42 - $13.53

                                                                                         = $59.89

Thus, the value, of the investment at the end of the month is $59.89.

Now, we will find percent loss:-

Percent\ loss = \frac{Loss}{value\ of \ investment\ at \ start}

                    =\frac{59.89}{73.42} \\=0.81\%

Thus, percent loss on investment by the end of the month is 0.8%.

Which is the simplified form of n Superscript negative 6 p cubed?
evablogger [386]

Answer:

Third option. \frac{p^3}{n^{6}}

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise you need to remember one of the properties for exponents.

There is a property called the "Negative property of exponents" which states the following:

b^{-n}=\frac{1}{b^n}

Where b \neq0

As you can observe,  b^n is the reciprocal of b^{-n}

In this case you have the following expression given in the exercise:

n^{-6}p^3

Observe the expression. As you can notice, the base "n" has a negative exponent, which is -6.

Therefore, applying the Negative property of exponents explained at the beginning of this explanation, you can simplify the expression.

Then, the simplified form of  n^{-6p^3} is the one shown below:

n^{-6}p^3=\frac{p^3}{n^{6}}
