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

Stella [2.4K]

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: $\mathbf{x = 80}$

A study conducted to determine the relationship between the age, x, in years of a certain brand of motorcycle and its value, y,

kirza4 [7]

Based on the equation, y = -750·x + 8500, the estimated value of a

motorcycle that is 5 years old is <u>$4,750</u>.

<h3>How can the given equation help to estimate the value of the motorcycle?</h3>

The regression equation that models the data is; y = -750·x + 8500

Where;

y = The value of the brand of motorcycle in dollars

x = The age of the motorcycle

When the motorcycle is 5 years old, we have;

x = 5

y = -750 × 5 + 8500 = 4750

Based on the equation, the estimated value of a motorcycle that is 5 years old, y =<u> $4,750</u>

You are studying for your final exam of the semester. up to this point, you received 3 exam scores of 67%, 68%, and 78℅. to rece

scoray [572]

(67 + 68 + 78 + x) / 4 = 70
(213 + x) / 4 = 70
213 + x = 70 * 4
213 + x = 280
x = 280 - 213
x = 67

(213 + x) / 4 = 79
213 + x = 79 * 4
213 + x = 316
x = 316 - 213
x = 103

lowest u can make is 67, highest u can make is 100
