The standard equation for a parabola that opens upward parallel to the y-axis is x2=4ay, where a = distance from the vertex to focus. Vertex is at origin(0,0)
4a=2
a=2/4
a=1/2 or 0.5
the coordinate of the focus is (0, 1/2)
the equation of the directrix is y=-1/2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Declaration
Let Heather's number of messages = x
Let Eric's number of messages = x + 9
Let Chang's number of messages = 3(x +9)
Equation
x + x + 9 + 3(x + 9) = 116
Solution
x + x + 9 + 3(x + 9) = 116 Remove the brackets
x + x + 9 + 3x + 27 = 116 Combine like terms
x + x + 3x + 9 + 27 = 116
5x + 36 = 116 Subtract 36 from both sides
5x + 36 - 36 = 116 - 36 Combine
5x = 80 Divide both sides by 5
5x/5 = 80/5
x = 16
Answer
Heather = 16
Eric = 16 + 9 = 25
Chang = 3*25 = 75
The dot has to be colored in
The longer an object, the longer the shadow they cast at a given time of the day and vice versa. This is called direct proportionality. At the same time,
If 15 foot flagpole ---- casts 11 foot shandow
28 foot tree -------- casts ?? foot shadow
The proportion would therefore be:
Length of shadow cast by tree = (28/15)*11 = 20.533 foot.
You can use calculus ( related rates). Given the rate os change of the radius for example you can find the rate of change of volume using differential calculus.
