Answer: y=8
Step-by-step explanation:
Since DF is bisected, it means but in half. This means DU and UF are equal in length. We can set them equal to each other to find y.
2y=16 [divide both sides by 2]
y=8
Answer:
x=18 y=69
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+5y=399
x+5y=363
2x=36
x=18
18+5y=363
5y=345
y=69
Answer:
A.47 m
Step-by-step explanation:
you a add 35 m east and 12 m west
60/25 = 12/Y
cross multiply and divide
25 x 12 = 300
300 / 60 = 5
Y = 5 boxes
If your directrix is a "y=" line, that means that the parabola opens either upwards or downwards (as opposed to the left or the right). Because it is in the character of a parabola to "hug" the focus, our parabola opens upwards. The vertex of a parabola sits exactly halfway between the directrix and the focus. Since our directrix is at y = -2 and the focus is at (1, 6) AND the parabola opens upward, the vertex is going to sit on the main transversal, which is also the "line" the focus sits on. The focus is on the line x = 1, so the vertex will also have that x coordinate. Halfway between the y points of the directrix and the focus, -2 and 6, respectively, is the y value of 2. So the vertex sits at (1, 2). The formula for this type of parabola is
where h and k are the coordinates of the vertex and p is the DISTANCE that the focus is from the vertex. Our focus is 4 units from the vertex, so p = 4. Filling in our h, k, and p:
. Simplifying a bit gives us
. We can begin to isolate the y by dividing both sides by 16 to get
. Then we can add 2 to both sides to get the final equation
, choice 4 from above.
