Answer:

7.22 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

s = d/t................. Equation 1

Where s = speed of the space shuttle, d = distance traveled by the shuttle in an hour, t = time taken to travel the distance

make d the subject of the equation,

d = s×t.................... Equation 2

Given: s = 2.6×10000 feet per seconds, t = 1 hour =  3.6×1000 seconds.

Substitute these values into equation 2

d = (2.6×10000)/(3.6×1000)

d = 26000/3600

d = 7.22 feet.

Hence the shuttle travels 7.22 feet in an hour

The original price of a pair of shoes is $42. The sale price is 20% off the original price. What is the amount off the original
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

a) What is the amount off the original price?

= $8.4

b) What is the new price for the pair of shoes?

= $33.6

Step-by-step explanation:

a) What is the amount off the original price?

We are told that:

The sale price is 20% off the original price.

Original price = $42

Hence:

$42 × 20%

$42 × 20/100

= $8.4

b) What is the new price for the pair of shoes?

The new price =

0riginal price - Amount off the original price

= $42 - $8.4

= $33.6

The original price = $33.6

The Ford family decides they want to go see a movie at the local movie theater. The family consists of two adults, and five chil
Brrunno [24]

Ford Family consists of:

a) 2 adults

The price of ticket for each adult is $18.55. This can be approximated to $19 if we round it to nearest dollar. So the price of ticket for 2 adults will be 2 x 19 = $38

b) 3 children between ages 2 and 10.

Ticket for each child between ages 2 - 10 is $12.59 which can be approximated to $13. So ticket price for 3 children will be 3 x 13 = $39

c) 2 children below the age of 2.

Ticket price for each child is $6.54 which can approximated as $7. So ticket price for 2 children will be 2 x 7 = $14

The estimated total amount due on the family equals = 38 + 39 + 14 = $91

In each of the 3 cases we rounded up the values. So this means the actual amount must be slightly lesser than $91. The actual bill was $87.95 which is close to $91 and lesser than it. Hence we can conclude that $87.95 is the correct amount due for Ford Family.

What is the equation of a parabola with a focus (-2,4) and directrix y = 0?
Ronch [10]
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'
