7cos(x) + 1 = 6sec(x)
7cos(x) + 1 = 6/cos(x)
7cos^(x) + cos(x) = 6
7cos^(x) + cos(x) - 6 = 0
[7cos(x) - 6][cos(x) + 1] = 0
cos(x) = 6/7 , x = arccos(6/7) and
cos(x) = -1, x = 180
Answer:
34. E 2 1/2
36. C 6cm
Step-by-step explanation:
34. ABC's triangle has 4, as it is equivalent to ADE's triangle's 10. I added 4 and 6 because the whole triangle shown is ADE. Then I did 10/4.
36. The reasoning is that on the other side, there is 9cm and 6cm which is equivalent to AB and 4cm
It goes like: 9/6 = AB/4
9 times 4 equals 36, and 36 divided by 6 is 6. Therefore the answer is 6cm.
The general form of a parabola when using the focus and directrix is:
(x - h)² = 4p(y - k) where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola and 'p' is distance between vertex and the focus. We use this form due to the fact we can see the parabola will open up based on the directrix being below the focus. Remember that the parabola will hug the focus and run away from the directrix. The formula would be slightly different if the parabola was opening either left or right.
Given a focus of (-2,4) and a directrix of y = 0, we can assume the vertex of the parabola is exactly half way in between the focus and the directrix. The focus and vertex with be stacked one above the other, therefore the vertex will be (-2, 2) and the value of 'p' will be 2. We can now write the equation of the parabola:
(x + 2)² = 4(2)(y - 2)
(x + 2)² = 8(y - 2) Now you can solve this equation for y if you prefer solving for 'y' in terms of 'x'
