Focus of the parabola is (-5,5) and directrix is y = -1.

Let's assume a point (x,y) on parabola.

According to definition of parabola, the distance between point (x,y) and focus (-5,5) would be same as the distance between the point (x,y) and directrix y = -1.

\sqrt{(x+5)^2+(y-5)^2} = \sqrt{(y+1)^2} \\\\(x+5)^2+(y-5)^2=(y+1)^2 \\\\(x+5)^2 + y^2 - 10y +25 = y^2 +2y +1 \\\\(x+5)^2 =  -y^2 +10y -25 + y^2 +2y +1 \\\\(x+5)^2 = 12y -24 \\\\12y =  (x+5)^2  +24 \\\\ y = \frac{1}{12} (x+5)^2  +2

Hence, option D is correct, i.e. f(x) = one twelfth (x + 5)2 + 2.

Answer:

f(x)=\frac{1}{12}(x + 5) ^ 2 +2

Step-by-step explanation:

With the focus and the directrix we can find the equation of the parabola

Imagine any point belonging to the parabola, let's call that point (x, y).

If the point (x, y) belongs to the parable sought then:

The distance between the point and the focus is:

\sqrt{(x -(-5)) ^ 2 + (y-5) ^ 2}

The distance between the point and the directrix is:

|y -(-1)|

These distances are the same for any point belonging to the parabola. Then we equal them:

\sqrt{(x+5) ^ 2 + (y-5) ^ 2}= |y+1|


We raise both sides of the equation squared and we have left:

(x + 5) ^ 2 + (y-5) ^ 2 = (y + 1) ^ 2

Grouping equal terms and simplifying:

(x + 5) ^ 2 = [y ^ 2 + 2y +1] - [y ^ 2 -10y +25]\\ (x + 5) ^ 2 = 12y-24\\ 12y = (x + 5) ^ 2 +24\\ y = \frac{1}{12} (x + 5) ^ 2 +2

As this condition is fulfilled for all the points in the parabola, then:

f(x)=\frac{1}{12}(x + 5) ^ 2 +2 It is the equation of the parable sought, and its derivative is:

\frac{df(x)}{dx}=\frac{1}{6}(x + 5)

The number of viruses was 4000 times greater than number of protozoa.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of protozoa = 5*10^5

Number of viruses = 2*10^9

Let,

x be the number of times number of viruses is greater than number of protozoa.

Number of viruses = Number of time * Number of protozoa

2*10^9=(5*10^5)x

Dividing both sides by 5*10^5

\frac{2*10^9}{5*10^5}=\frac{(5*10^5)x}{5*10^5}\\\\4*10^3= x\\x=4*10^3 \\x=4000

The number of viruses was 4000 times greater than number of protozoa.

Solve 4(-2x + 7) = 24 for x
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

x = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

brainlest please

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    4*(-2*x+7)-(24)=0

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

 4 • (7 - 2x) -  24  = 0

Step  2  :

Step  3  :

Pulling out like terms :

3.1     Pull out like factors :

  4 - 8x  =   -4 • (2x - 1)

Equation at the end of step  3  :

 -4 • (2x - 1)  = 0

Step  4  :

Equations which are never true :

4.1      Solve :    -4   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

4.2      Solve  :    2x-1 = 0

Add  1  to both sides of the equation :

                     2x = 1

Divide both sides of the equation by 2:

                    x = 1/2

The population of the world grows exponentially at a rate of 1.1% per year.
natima [27]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Every year, the world grows by 1.1%. Converting to a decimal, we can divide by 100 to get 1.1% = 0.011. This means that the world grows by 0.011 exponentially each year. To put this into an expression, we can add 1 to our percentage to get 1.011. This represents 1 = 100% (the original population) and the growth of 1.1% = 0.011. We multiply the rate including the growth by the population to get the population after one year. After the first year, we have

population * 1.011 as the new population after one year. We do that for every year, so the second year's population is population*(1.011)*(1.011) and so on. If x represents the amount of years, then the population can be represented as

(original population)*1.011ˣ

Therefore, to get from 7 billion to 7.31 billion, we have

7 billion * 1.011ˣ = 7.31 billion

divide both sides by 7 billion to relatively isolate the x

1.011ˣ = 7.31/7

Another way of writing this is

log (base 1.011) (7.31/7) = x

≈ 3.96

Rounding to the nearest whole number, we get 4 as our answer
