To solve this problem, we need to know 2 relationships:
<h2>1. AC = AB + BC</h2>The distance of AC is the sum of AB and BC.
We know this since the distance of going from A to C (AC) is the same as going from A to B (AB), then B to C (BC).
<h2>2. AB = BC</h2>The distance of AB is the same as AC.
We know this since B is in the middle of AC, so the distance from B to A (BA) is the same as the distance from B to C (BC).
You can see the attached image (at the bottom) for a visualization of this.
<h2>Putting them together</h2>Since we know the values of AB and BC...
...we can put these values into our 2nd equation and solve for x:
Add 7 to both sides:
Subtract x from both sides:
Divide both sides by 2:
Knowing x, we can find the distance of AC using our first equation.
Let's put in the values of AB and BC:
Before we put in x = 8, we can simplify this:
We group x and 3x and add those together. Then we subtract 7 from 9.
With this equation, we can put in x = 8:
Since 4 * 8 = 32:
Finally, we have found both x and AC.
<h2>Answer</h2>x = 8
AC = 34
Answer:
Part 1) The directrix of the parabola is y=-4.25
Part 2) The focus of the parabola is F(1,-3.75)
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
This is a vertical parabola open upward
we know that
If a parabola has a vertical axis, the standard form of the equation of the parabola is
where
p≠ 0
The vertex of this parabola is at (h, k).
The focus is at (h, k + p).
The directrix is the line y = k - p.
The axis is the line x = h.
step 1
Convert the equation of the parabola in standard form
so
----> equation in standard form
The vertex is the point (1,-4)
4p=1 ------> p=1/4
step 2
Find the directrix of the parabola
The directrix is the line y = k - p
we have
k=-4
p=1/4
substitute the values
y = k - p
y=-4-(1/4)=-17/4
y=-4.25
step 3
Find the focus of the parabola
we know that
The focus is at (h, k + p).
we have
h=1
k=-4
p=1/4
substitute
F(1,-4+1/4)
F(1,-3.75)
