First, we can choose the seats for the four mathematicians. Then we seat the physicits, then the engineer. There are 4! ways to seat the mathematicians, then 3! ways to seat the physicists, then 1! ways to seat the engineer. But then we must divide by 8, because we can rotate the table, so there are 8!*4!*3!/8 = 725760 ways to seat everyone.
Answer: 70 feet
explanation: 14/2=7 7x10=70
Answer:
(x²-10x+33)/(-8) = y
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between any point on a parabola from both its focus and directrix are the same.
Let's say we have a point (x,y) on the parabola. We can then say that using the distance formula,
is the distance between (x,y) and the focus. Similarly, the distance between (x,y) and the directrix is |y-1| (I use absolute value here because distance is always positive). We can find this equation by taking the shortest distance from the point to the line. Because the closest point to the line will be the same x value as the point itself, the distance is simply the distance between the y value of the point and the y value of the directrix.
Equating the two equations given, we have
square both sides to get
(x-5)²+(y+3)²=(y-1)²
expand the y components
(x-5)² + y²+6y+9 = y²-2y+1
subtract y²+6y+9 from both sides
(x-5)² = -8y - 8
expand the x components
x²-10x+25 = -8y - 8
add 8 to both sides to isolate the -8y
x²-10x+33 = -8y
divide both sides by -8 to isolate y
(x²-10x+33)/(-8) = y
Multiply the two numbers
3/5*7/1= 21/5
21/5= 4 1/5 miles
Answer: 4 1/5 miles
