Write the equation for a parabola with a focus at (6,-4) and a directrix at y= -7

Given:

The focus of the parabola is at (6,-4).

Directrix at y=-7.

To find:

The equation of the parabola.

Solution:

The general equation of a parabola is:

y=\dfrac{1}{4p}(x-h)^2+k                  ...(i)

Where, (h,k) is vertex, (h,k+p) is the focus and y=k-p is the directrix.

The focus of the parabola is at (6,-4).

(h,k+p)=(6,-4)

On comparing both sides, we get

h=6

k+p=-4                            ...(ii)

Directrix at y=-7. So,

k-p=-7                            ...(iii)

Adding (ii) and (iii), we get

2k=-11

k=\dfrac{-11}{2}

k=-5.5

Putting k=-5.5 in (ii), we get

-5.5+p=-4

p=-4+5.5

p=1.5

Putting h=6, k=-5.5,p=1.5 in (i), we get

y=\dfrac{1}{4(1.5)}(x-6)^2+(-5.5)

y=\dfrac{1}{6}(x-6)^2-5.5

Therefore, the equation of the parabola is y=\dfrac{1}{6}(x-6)^2-5.5.

Let d be the common difference between terms in the sequence \{a_n\}_{n\ge1}. Then

a_{19}=-58
a_{20}=a_{19}+d
a_{21}=a_{19}+2d
\implies-164=-58+2d\implies d=-53

The first term in the sequence, a_1, satisfies

a_2=a_1+d
a_3=a_1+2d
a_4=a_1+3d
...
a_{19}=a_1+18d
\implies-58=a_1+18(-53)\implies a_1=896

So the explicit formula for the n-th term in the sequence is

a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\implies a_n=896-53(n-1)

What decimal is equal to 31/100
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

0.31

Step-by-step explanation:

So if you divide 31 by 100 all you have to do is move the decimal from right to left the number of zeros you have. Here we have 2 zeros so we move from right to left twice.

0.31
