Answer:

Sin A =    2sqrt(5)/5

Cos A =    sqrt(5)/5

Tan A = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

If the triangles are similar, the sin, cos and tan values will be the same on either triangle.

So Sin A = Sin Y

Sin Y = opposite / hypotenuse

          = 6/3 sqrt(5)

We do not leave sqrt's in the denominator.  Multiply by sqrt(5)/sqrt(5)

           6 sqrt(5) / 3 sqrt(5)*sqrt(5)

          6sqrt(5) / 15

          2sqrt(5)/5

The third side of the triangle is found by the Pythagorean theorem

YZ^2 +6^2 = (3sqrt(5))^2

yz^2 +36 = 9*5

YZ^2 +36 = 45

YZ^2 +36-36 = 45-36

YZ^2 = 9

Take the square root

YZ =3

Cos Y = adjacent / hypotenuse

           = 3/3sqrt(5)

           = 1/sqrt(5)

We do not leave sqrt's in the denominator.  Multiply by sqrt(5)/sqrt(5)

            = sqrt(5)/sqrt(5)*sqrt(5)

                sqrt(5)/5

Tan Y = oppositie/adjancent

          =6/ 3

          =2

Since They are the same for Y or A

Sin A =    2sqrt(5)/5

Cos A =    sqrt(5)/5

Tan A = 2

A parabola can be drawn given a focus of (0,−6) and a directrix of y=−2. Write the equation of the parabola in any form.
topjm [15]

Answer:

y = x^2 - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex of a parabola is exactly halfway between the focus and the directrix.  If the focus is at (0, -6) and the directrix is the line y = -2, then we do this to locate the vertex:  Draw a vertical line through (0, -6) also crossing the line y = -2.  The y value halfway between y = -6 and y = -2 is y = -4, and the vertex is thus (0, -4).

Using the vertex method, write out the equation of this parabola, starting with the general form y - k = (x-h)^2, where (h, k) is the vertex.  Here h = 0 and k = -4

We get:  y + 4 = (x - 0)^2, or y + 4 = x^2, or y = x^2 - 4.  As a check, let x = 0; y = -4, which is the y-coordinate of the vertex.
