Midpoint = ( x1 + x2)/2, (y1+ y2)/2

Midpoint = (10 +6)/2, (6+10)/2

Midpoint = (8,8)

A jumping spider's movement is modeled by a parabola. The spider makes a single jump from the origin and reaches a maximum heigh

A parabola is a mirror-symmetrical U-shape.

The equation of the parabola is $\mathbf{y = -\frac{1}{640}(x - 80)^2 + 10}$
The focus is $\mathbf{Focus = (80, -1760)}$
The directrix is $\mathbf{y = \frac{1}{640}}$
The axis of the symmetry of parabola is: $\mathbf{x = 80}$

From the question, we have:

$\mathbf{Vertex: (h,k) = (80,10)}$

$\mathbf{Origin: (x,y) = (0,0)}$

The equation of a parabola is:

$\mathbf{y = a(x - h)^2 + k}$

Substitute the values of origin and vertex in $\mathbf{y = a(x - h)^2 + k}$

$\mathbf{0 = a(0 - 80)^2 + 10}$

$\mathbf{0 = a(- 80)^2 + 10}$

$\mathbf{0 = 6400a + 10}$

Collect like terms

$\mathbf{6400a =- 10}$

Solve for a

$\mathbf{a =- \frac{1}{640}}$

Substitute the values of a and the vertex in $\mathbf{y = a(x - h)^2 + k}$

$\mathbf{y = -\frac{1}{640}(x - 80)^2 + 10}$

The focus of a parabola is:

$\mathbf{Focus = (h, \frac{k+1}{4a})}$

Substitute the values of a and the vertex in $\mathbf{Focus = (h, \frac{k+1}{4a})}$

$\mathbf{Focus = (80, \frac{10+1}{4 \times -\frac{1}{640}})}$

$\mathbf{Focus = (80, -\frac{11}{\frac{1}{160}})}$

$\mathbf{Focus = (80, -11\times 160)}$

$\mathbf{Focus = (80, -1760)}$

The equation of the directrix is:

$\mathbf{y = -a}$

So, we have:

$\mathbf{y = \frac{1}{640}}$ ----- the directrix

The axis of symmetry is:

$\mathbf{x = -\frac{b}{2a}}$

We have:

$\mathbf{y = -\frac{1}{640}(x - 80)^2 + 10}$

Expand

$\mathbf{y = -\frac{1}{640}(x^2 -160x + 6400) +10}$

Expand

$\mathbf{y = -\frac{1}{640}x^2 +\frac{1}{4}x - 10 +10}$

$\mathbf{y = -\frac{1}{640}x^2 +\frac{1}{4}x }$

A quadratic function is represented as:

$\mathbf{y = ax^2 + bx + c}$

So, we have:

$\mathbf{a = -\frac{1}{640}}$

$\mathbf{b = \frac{1}{4}}$

Recall that:

$\mathbf{x = -\frac{b}{2a}}$

So, we have:

$\mathbf{x = -\frac{1/4}{2 \times -1/640}}$

$\mathbf{x = \frac{1/4}{1/320}}$

This gives

$\mathbf{x = \frac{320}{4}}$

$\mathbf{x = 80}$

Hence, the axis of the symmetry of parabola is: $\mathbf{x = 80}$

What is (x − 3)(x − 5) = 35

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

x=10 x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

(x − 3)(x − 5) = 35

FOIL

x^2 -5x-3x+15 = 35

Combine like terms

x^2 -8x+15 = 35

Subtract 35 from each side

x^2 -8x+15-35 = 35-35

x^2 -8x-20 =0

Factor

What 2 numbers multiply to -20 and add to -8

-10*2 = -20

-10 +2 = -8

(x-10)(x+2) =0

Using the zero product property

x-10 =0 x+2 = 0

x=10 x=-2
