Answer:
y = 1/12 (x − 5)²
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this graphically without doing calculations.
The y component of the focus is y = 3. Since this is above the directrix, we know this is an upward facing parabola, so it must have a positive coefficient. That narrows the possible answers to A and C.
The x component of the focus is x = 5. Since this is above the vertex, we know the x component of the vertex is also x = 5.
So the answer is A. y = 1/12 (x−5)².
But let's say this wasn't a multiple choice question and we needed to do calculations. The equation of a parabola is:
y = 1/(4p) (x − h)² + k
where (h, k) is the vertex and p is the distance from the vertex to the focus.
The vertex is halfway between the focus and the directrix. So p is half the difference of the y components:
p = (3 − (-3)) / 2
p = 3
k, the y component of the vertex, is the average:
k = (3 + (-3)) / 2
k = 0
And h, the x component of the vertex, is the same as the focus:
h = 5
So:
y = 1/(4×3) (x − 5)² + 0
y = 1/12 (x − 5)²
-30 -29 -28 is the correct answer
Answer:
9) 6.3 units
11) n=6√2 and m=12,
10) m=6√3, n=6
12) 330.6 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
1) The Pythagoras Theorem says that, the square of the hypotenuse is the sum of the squares of the two shorter legs.
Let the missing side, which is the hypotenuse be x.
Then
The missing side is 6.3 units to the nearest tenth.
2) This is an isosceles right triangle.
This implies that, the two legs are equal.
The hypotenuse can be found using Pythagoras Theorem.
3) The side lengths of 30°-60°-90° are in the ratio, 2x,x√3,x
From the diagram, the hypotenuse is 12, therefore the other two legs are
and
4) The height of the monument is 115 feet, the hypotenuse is 350.
By Pythagoras Theorem,
