Answer:

y = (-1/19)(x - 8)² + 1521/76

Step-by-step explanation:

A parabola moves in such a way that it's distance from it's focus and directrix are always equal.

Now, we are given that directrix is y = 9.75 and focus is at (8, 0.25). Focus can be rewritten as (8, ¼) and directrix can be rewritten as y = 39/4

If we consider a point with the coordinates (x, y), it means the distance from this point to the focus is;

√((x - 8)² + (y - ¼)²)

Distance from that point to the directrix is; (y - 39/4)

Thus;

√((x - 8)² + (y - ¼)²) = (y - 39/4)

Taking the square of both sides gives;

((x - 8)² + (y - ¼)²) = (y - 39/4)²

(x - 8)² + y² - ½y + 1/16 = y² - (39/2)y + (39/4)²

Simplifying this gives;

(x - 8)² - (39/4)² = (½ - 39/2)y

(x - 8)² - 1521/4 = -19y

(x - 8)² - 1521/4 = -19y

Divide both sides by -19 to get;

y = (-1/19)(x - 8)² + 1521/76

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

B.   100

Step-by-step explanation:

(m + n)^2

= m^2 + 2mn + n^2

Rearrange

(m^2 + n^2) + 2mn

Substitute

(68) + 2*16

= 68 + 32

= 100

Given a long algebraic equation, what are some strategies that you can use to make simplifying and evaluating the equation more
krok68 [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a long algebraic equation, the like terms can be collected. When you collect like terms, you reduce the length of the algebraic equation.

After that, you can factorize the equation where possible. When you factorize the equation. It becomes quite easier to solve it efficiently.

What is the answer to:<br> -4(2x+2) &lt;-40
mars1129 [50]

Answer: x > 6

Step-by-step explanation:  -4(2x+2) < -40

-8x - 8 < -40

      +8     +8

-8x < 48

/-8x   /-8x

x  > 6              *The less than sign got flipped to a greater than sign because we divided by a negative.
