Answer:

The endpoints of the latus rectum are (12, -7) and (-8, -7).

Step-by-step explanation:

A parabola with vertex at point C(x, y) = (h,k) and whose axis of symmetry is parallel to the y-axis is defined by the following formula:

(x-h)^{2} = 4\cdot p \cdot (y-k) (1)

Where:

y - Independent variable.

x - Dependent variable.

p - Distance from vertex to the focus.

h, k - Coordinates of the vertex.

The coordinates of the focus are represented by:

F(x,y) = (h, k+p) (2)

The <em>latus rectum</em> is a line segment parallel to the x-axis which contains the focus. If we know that h = 2, k = -2 and p = -5, then the latus rectum is between the following endpoints:

By (2):

F(x,y) = (2, -2-5)

F(x,y) = (2,-7)

By (1):

(x-2)^{2} = -20\cdot (-7+2)

(x-2)^{2} = 100

x - 2 = \pm 10

There are two solutions:

x_{1} = 2 + 10

x_{1} = 12

x_{2} = 2-10

x_{2} = -8

Hence, the endpoints of the latus rectum are (12, -7) and (-8, -7).

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

45 pieces.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, if the ratio is 5 : 4, then is you multiply 4 x 5 to get 20, you need to multiply 5 x 5 to get 25.

Second, 20 + 25 = 45 which is the total amount of puzzle pieces.

Hope this helps!
