Y = -(1/2)(x-2)² +8
Re write it in standard form:
(y-8) = -1/2(x-2)² ↔ (y-k) = a(x-h)²
This parabola open downward (a = -1/2 <0), with a maximum shown in vertex
The vertex is (h , k) → Vertex(2 , 8)
focus(h, k +c )
a = 1/4c → -1/2 = 1/4c → c = -1/2, hence focus(2, 8-1/2) →focus(2,15/2)
Latus rectum: y-value = 15/2
Replace in the equation y with 15/2→→15/2 = -1/2(x-2)² + 8
Or -1/2(x-2)² +8 -15/2 = 0
Solving this quadratic equation gives x' = 3 and x" = 2, then
Latus rectum = 5
First, X^2 while x is 4 =4^2, which is 4x4, which is 16
3X while x is 4 is 12. 16-12=4. So the answer is 4
Area of the triangle:
A = 1/2 · c · b · sin A =
= 1/2 · 30 · 14 · 0.766 ≈ 160.87 ft²
Answer: 160.87 ft²
The ratio 5/6 is equivalent to 275/330
5:6 ⇔ 275:330
