Derive the equation of the parabola with a focus at (_5, 5) and a directrix of y = -1.

mars1129 [50]

Answer: Option D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

focus = (-5,5)

and a directrix y= -1

Since, equation of parabola in this case will be

$(x-h)^2=4.a(y-k)$

Now, here

$y=k-a=-1\\\\\text { focus =(h,k+a)}\\\\\text{So,} k+a=5\\\\\text{ by solving these two equation , we get }\\\\a=3\text{ and } k=2$

So equation will be

$(x+5)^2=4\times 3(y-2)\\\\(x+5)^2=12(y-3)\\\\y=\frac{1}{12}(x+5)^2+2$

So, option D is correct .

Lakelyn is training for a triathlon she is practising her swiming running and biking skills so far she can swim at a rate of 250

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

It would take Lalelyn bout 3 hours to run the 18m miles, and it will take her

$\frac{x}{1.7} +\frac{y}{6} +\frac{z}{12} = t$ and x +y+z =18 where x, y, and z are the distannce covered swimming, running and bikinr respectifully

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question, we lisrt out the variables as follows

Swimming speed of Lakelyn = 250 yards every 5 minutes or 250×12 = 3000 yards/hour = 1.7 miles/hr

Running speed of Lakelyn = 6 miles/hour

Biking speed = 12 miles/hour

The duration it will take for Lakelyn to run 18 miles is given by

Timee taken to run 18 miles t = (Distance covered)/ (Speed of Lakelyn))

or t = D/S

Substituting the known values of such as

Running speed of Lakelyn = 6 miles/hour

From which we have the time taken to run 18 miles = 18 miles /(6 miles/hour) = 3 hours

should the 18 miles form part of the triathlon then, we have

$\frac{x}{1.7} +\frac{y}{6} +\frac{z}{12} = t$ and x +y+z =18

Where x, y and z are the distance covered Swimming, Running and Biking respectively

The owner of a cattle ranch would like to fence in a rectangular area of 3000000 m^2 and then divide it in half with a fence dow

Reika [66]

If you notice the picture below, the amount of fencing, or perimeter, that will be used will be 3w + 2l

now $\bf \begin{cases}
A=l\cdot w\\\\\
A=3000000\\
----------\\
3000000=l\cdot w\\\\
\frac{3000000}{w}=l
\end{cases}\qquad thus
\\\\\\
P=3w+2l\implies P=3w+2\left( \cfrac{3000000}{w} \right)\implies P=3w+\cfrac{6000000}{w}
\\\\\\
P=3w+6000000w^{-1}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
now\qquad \cfrac{dP}{dw}=3-\cfrac{6000000}{w^2}\implies \cfrac{dP}{dw}=\cfrac{3w^2-6000000}{w^2}
\\\\\\
\textit{so the critical points are at }
\begin{cases}
0=w^2\\\\
0=\frac{3w^2-6000000}{w^2}
\end{cases}$

solve for "w", to see what critical points you get, and then run a first-derivative test on them, for the minimum

notice the $0=w^2\implies 0=w$ so. you can pretty much skip that one, though is a valid critical point, the width can't clearly be 0

so.. check the critical points on the other
