Using the given information write the equation of parabolas:

Mathematics
1 answer:
lana [24]3 years ago
8 0

The general form of the equation we need to find is (x - h)^2 = 4p(y- k).

The center is the distance between the directrix and focus.

So, center (h, k) = (3, 3/2) .

P = distance from center to the focus and it just so happens to be 1.5.

We now plug everything into the formula given above.

(x - 3)^2 = 4(1.5)(y - 3/2)

(x - 3)^2 = 6(y - 3/2)

Done!

Why is 1/6 greater than 1/8 but less than 1/3
horrorfan [7]

Because the denominator (bottom number) of the fraction tells you
how many equal pieces the whole thing has been cut up into.

When you cut up the whole thing into 6 pieces, each piece is bigger
than if you cut it into 8 pieces, but less than if you cut it into 3 pieces.

Check the picture below, so the park looks more or less like so, with the paths in red, so let's find those midpoints.

~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ J(\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\qquad K(\stackrel{x_2}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{3}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left(\cfrac{ 1 -3}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ 3 +1}{2} \right) \implies \left(\cfrac{ -2 }{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ 4 }{2} \right)\implies JK=(-1~~,~~2) \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ L(\stackrel{x_1}{5}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-1})\qquad M(\stackrel{x_2}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-3}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left(\cfrac{ -1 +5}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ -3 -1}{2} \right) \implies \left(\cfrac{ 4 }{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ -4 }{2} \right)\implies LM=(2~~,~~-2) \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ JK(\stackrel{x_1}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{2})\qquad LM(\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-2})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ JKLM=\sqrt{(~~2 - (-1)~~)^2 + (~~-2 - 2~~)^2} \\\\\\ JKLM=\sqrt{(2 +1)^2 + (-2 - 2)^2} \implies JKLM=\sqrt{( 3 )^2 + ( -4 )^2} \\\\\\ JKLM=\sqrt{ 9 + 16 } \implies JKLM=\sqrt{ 25 }\implies \boxed{JKLM=5}

now, let's check the other path, JM and KL

~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ J(\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\qquad M(\stackrel{x_2}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-3}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left(\cfrac{ -1 -3}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ -3 +1}{2} \right) \implies \left(\cfrac{ -4 }{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ -2 }{2} \right)\implies JM=(-2~~,~~-1) \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ K(\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{3})\qquad L(\stackrel{x_2}{5}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-1}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left(\cfrac{ 5 +1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ -1 +3}{2} \right) \implies \left(\cfrac{ 6 }{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ 2 }{2} \right)\implies KL=(3~~,~~1) \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ JM(\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-1})\qquad KL(\stackrel{x_2}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{1})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ JMKL=\sqrt{(~~3 - (-2)~~)^2 + (~~1 - (-1)~~)^2} \\\\\\ JMKL=\sqrt{(3 +2)^2 + (1 +1)^2} \implies JMKL=\sqrt{( 5 )^2 + ( 2 )^2} \\\\\\ JMKL=\sqrt{ 25 + 4 } \implies \boxed{JMKL=\sqrt{ 29 }}

so the red path will be  5~~ + ~~\sqrt{29} ~~ \approx ~~ \blacksquare~~ 10 ~~\blacksquare

Wilma can mow a lawn in 80 mintues.Melissa can mow the same lawn in 120 minutes. How long does it take for both Wilma and Meliss
Luba_88 [7]
There is a formula for that;
Total time = (Worker 1 * Worker 2) / (Worker 1 + Worker 2)
Total time = (80 * 120) / (80 + 120)
Total time = 9,600 / 200
Total time = 48 minutes
