Work shown above! y = 148
We are given a concave spherical mirror with the following dimensions:
Radius = 60 cm; D o = 30 cm
Height = 6 cm; h o = 6 cm
First, we need to know the focal length, f, of the object (this should be given). Then we can use the following formulas for calculation:
Assume f = 10 cm
1/ f = 1 /d o + 1 / d i
1 / 10 = 1 / 30 + 1 / d i
d i = 15 cm
Then, calculate for h i:
h i / h o = - d i / d o
h i / 6 = - 15 / 30
h i = - 3 cm
Therefore, the distance of the object from the mirror is 3 centimeters. The negative sign means it is "inverted".
The LCD is 30. The fractions would be 9/30 and -8/30
The answer is <span>a.)(x - 4)2 = 3.
(x - a)</span>² = b can be expressed as:
x² - 2ax + a² = b ⇒ x² - 2ax + a² - b = 0
Our equation is x² - 8x + 13 = 0.
The general formula is x² - 2ax + (a² - b) = 0
Thus:
8x = 2ax and a² - b = 13
Divide both sides of the first equation (8x = 2ax) by x:
8 = 2a ⇒ a = 8 ÷ 2 = 4
Replace a in the second equation (a² - b = 13):
4² - b = 13 ⇒ b = 4² - 13 = 16 - 13 = 3
Now when we have a and b, let's just replace them in the general equation:
(x - a)² = b
(x - 4)² = 3
