Hi there!
We know that the equation for the volume of a pyramid is:
V = 1/3(bh)
We know that:
V = 200 km³
b = 12 × 5 = 60 km²
We can plug these into the equation:
200 = 1/3(60)(h)
Simplify:
200 = 20h
Divide both sides by 20:
200/20 = 20h/20
h = 10 km
Factor
x(2x-1)=0
x = 1/2, 0
We are asked to sum the two trinomials
. We can start by using the distributive property to remove the parenthesis, giving us
. Next, when we combine like terms, we get
. Hope this helped!
So, notice, the focus point is at -7, 5, and the directrix is at y = -11.
keep in mind that the vertex is half-way between those two fellows, and the distance from the vertex to either one of them is "p" units, check the picture below.
with that focus point and that directrix, the half-way over the axis of symmetry will be -7, -3, that's where the vertex is at, and notice the distance "p", is 8 units.
since the parabola is opening upwards, "p" is positive 8.
