Daniel: 3/4=.75 = 75%
Jacob: 5/12=  .41 = 41%
So it would be Jacob that is faster

5/12 is faster because it is a smaller fraction of the minute

A parabola can be drawn given a focus of
Volgvan

Answer:

y=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2)^{2}+9

Step-by-step explanation:

Any point on a given parabola is equidistant from focus and directrix.

Given:

Focus of the parabola is at (2,8).

Directrix of the parabola is y=10.

Let (x,y) be any point on the parabola. Then, from the definition of a parabola,

Distance of (x,y) from focus = Distance of (x,y) from directrix.

Therefore,

\sqrt{(x-2)^{2}+(y-8)^{2}}=|y-10|

Squaring both sides, we get

(x-2)^{2}+(y-8)^{2}=(y-10)^{2}\\(x-2)^{2}=(y-10)^{2}-(y-8)^{2}\\(x-2)^{2}=(y-10+y-8)(y-10-(y-8))...............[\because a^{2}-b^{2}=(a+b)(a-b)]\\(x-2)^{2}=(2y-18)(y-10-y+8)\\(x-2)^{2}=2(y-9)(-2)\\(x-2)^{2}=-4(y-9)\\y-9=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2)^{2}\\y=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2)^{2}+9

Hence, the equation of the parabola is y=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2)^{2}+9.

PLEASE HELP!!! So the answer I got was 19.14 however that is not the correct answer. How do I solve this problem. Not sure what
Mamont248 [21]

Check the picture below.

so we know the radius of the semicircle is 2 and the rectangle below it is really a 4x4 square, so let's just get their separate areas and add them up.

\stackrel{\textit{area of the semicircle}}{\cfrac{1}{2}\pi r^2}\implies \cfrac{1}{2}(\stackrel{\pi }{3.14})(2)^2\implies 3.14\cdot 2\implies 6.28 \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{area of the square}}{(4)(4)}\implies 16 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{sum of both areas}}{16+6.28=22.28}~\hfill
