Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 1 + 1 = 17 + 1

2x = 18

(2x=18)/2

x = 9

Answer:

2x - 1 = 17

add 1 on each side --> 2x = 18

x = 9 because one divides 2 from each side and results to 9

A packing box is a rectangular prism with volume 2 m3.

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

The hight of the box is 1.2 m

Step-by-step explanation:

250cm= 2.5m

100cm= 1m

2.5x1=2.5

3/2.5=1.2

2.5 x 1 x 1.2= $3m^{3}$

A parabola has a focus of F(2, -0.5) and a directrix of y=-1.5 P(x,y) represents any point on the parabola, while D(x, -1.5) rep

prohojiy [21]

The sketch of the parabola is attached below

We have the focus $(a,b) = (2, -0.5)$
The point $P(x,y)$
The directrix, c at $y=-1.5$

The steps to find the equation of the parabola are as follows

Step 1
Find the distance between the focus and the point P using Pythagoras. We have two coordinates; $(2, -0.5)$ and $(x,y)$ .
We need the vertical and horizontal distances to find the hypotenuse (the diagram is shown in the second diagram).
The distance between the focus and point P is given by
$\sqrt{ (x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2} }$

Step 2
Find the distance between the point P to the directrix $c$ . It is a vertical distance between y and c, expressed as $y-c$

Step 3
The equation of parabola is then given as
$\sqrt{ (x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2} }$ = $y-c$
$(x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2}= (y-c)^{2}$ ⇒ substituting a, b and c
$(x-2)^{2}+ (y--0.5)^{2} = (y--1.5)^{2}$
$(x-2)^{2}+ (y+0.5)^{2}= (y+1.5)^{2}$ ⇒Rearranging and making $y$ the subject gives

$y= \frac{ x^{2} }{2} -2x+1$

Please help me with this problem

Nookie1986 [14]

In order for two lines to be perpendicular, their slopes must multiply together to equal to negative one
So we do negative one divided by 2/5 to get the slope of the red line
Which is -5/2
To check, we do 2/5 multiplied by -5/2 which equals to -1 so our answer is correct
